CASTROL PERFECTO X 68
Castrol Perfecto X 68 is a premium-quality mineral oil designed to maximise performance in industrial steam and gas turbines. Perfecto X 68 is engineered to protect turbine components against rust, corrosion, and varnish formation, even under demanding load and temperature conditions. It reliably delivers reliable and efficient performance in steam turbines, hydraulic systems, and combined cycle generating stations where steam turbines and gas turbines share a common supply.
With effective resistance to lacquer forming, oxidation and thermal degradation, Castrol Perfecto X 68 acts as a very long life lubricant in the right application. It delivers maximum protection across its prolonged lubricant life span, and increases equipment reliability thanks to effective corrosion inhibition that does not diminish over time.
Castrol Perfecto X 68's formulation balances oxidative stability with excellent demulsification properties, which means it is well-suited to environments where clean separation of water and rapid release of entrained air are critical to system protection and performance, thanks to excellent air release properties.
Why Choose Castrol?
Castrol Perfecto X 68 is carefully formulated to protect industrial gas turbines and delivers high performance thanks to strong rust and oxidation inhibitors that are effective even under demanding load and temperature conditions. It also resists varnish-formation and, thanks to superior air release properties and excellent water separation - properties that are vital for steam turbines - it outperforms competing products.
Castrol's Perfecto turbine oil range has carefully refined base oils and an additive system that prolongs equipment life by reducing deposit build-up and maintaining film strength for effective lubrication. Perfecto X 68 also demonstrates high resistance to oxidation, which extends oil life and reduces the frequency of fluid changes.
As such, Perfecto X 68 delivers improved cost control and reduced environmental impact, with lower waste volumes and minimal maintenance needs. Its excellent air release performance further helps maintain smooth, stable operation of turbine bearings and other sensitive components. By minimising the risk of cavitation that can lead to premature wear or failure, it keeps turbines performing well even under difficult performance conditions, such as very high localised temperatures.
Castrol Perfecto X 68 is a trusted choice across sectors where protection against corrosion, stability at elevated temperatures, and clean performance are all priorities, such as any power generation, manufacturing, and processing facilities where turbines and hydraulic systems operate continuously and demand a reliable lubricant to safeguard operational continuity.
