| Alphasyn HTX RangeHigh Temperature Synthetic Gear LubricantDescriptionThe Alphasyn™ HTX gear oil range of synthetic lubricants are based on polyalpha-olefin (PAO) fluids and sulphur/phosphorus antiwear additive technology providing outstanding thermal stability and good load carrying capacity.ApplicationThe Alphasyn HTX range has been formulated for use in most types of light to medium duty enclosed gear systems butshould not be used for heavy / shock loaded systems. Alphasyn HTX is also suitable for bearings and circulatorysystems operating at high temperatures.The outstanding oxidation and thermal stability of Alphasyn HTX allows oil change intervals to be extended incircumstances where extreme temperatures would result in a short service life if using conventional mineral oil basedlubricants. This allows demonstrable savings to be made by reducing the level of maintenance required.All products in the Alphasyn HTX range have very low pour points and excellent viscosity/temperaturecharacteristics, allowing their use in low temperature as well as high temperature applications.The Alphasyn HTX range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.Alphasyn HTX is classified as follows:DIN Classification is CLPAlphasyn HTX grades meet the requirements of:DIN 51517 Part 3David Brown Type AAGMA EP4AdvantagesGood thermal and oxidative stability provides reliable operation and extended operating life when compared tomineral oil based products.Inherently high viscosity index makes the product suitable for operations operating over a wide temperaturerange.Good antiwear and load carrying abilities including FZG > 12 rating under A16.6/110 test conditions eliminateswear and prolongs gear tooth life.Good water separation and demulsification characteristics means reduced down time through prolongedlubricant life and increased equipment reliability.PAO based lubricant provides good compatibility with seals, paints and mineral oil based lubricants.Page: 1/2Typical CharacteristicsName Method Units HTX 320 HTX 1000Density at 15°C ISO 12185, ASTM D4052 g/ml 0.87 0.88K.V at 40°C ISO 3104, ASTM D445 mm²/s 320 1000K.V at 100°C ISO 3104, ASTM D445 mm²/s 37 85Viscosity Index ISO 2909, ASTM D2270 - 160 165Pour Point ISO 3016, ASTM D97 °C -36 -36Flash Point, PMC ISO 2719, ASTM D93 °C 230 230Foam Sequence l ISO 6247, ASTM D892 mls/mls 0/0 0/0FZG (A6.6/110) Fail Stage ISO 14635-1, ASTM D51354 - >12 >12Rust Test (24hrs Distilled Water) ISO 7210, ASTM D665B - Pass PassSubject to usual manufacturing tolerances.Alphasyn HTX Range06 Feb 2017Castrol, the Castrol logo and related marks are trademarks of Castrol Limited, used under licence.This data sheet and the information it contains is believed to be accurate as of the date of printing.
