CASTROL VISCOGEN KL 3
The Castrol Viscogen KL range contains a series of thermally stable synthetic lubricants for applications where the use of mineral oils or conventional synthetic oils would not be suitable. These products are designed to enhance load carrying capability in high-temperature chain lubrication in severe environments, without the risk of excessive wear, carbonisation and residue formation associated with other synthetic oil products.
Why Choose Castrol Viscogen KL 3?
Viscogen KL 3 delivers high-temperature lubrication in severe environments, where standard synthetic oils would cause excessive wear or in which residue formation is a particular risk factor. Because it has an extremely low evaporation rate, Viscogen KL extends the reapplication windows and lowers lubricant consumption. The minimal residue formation and smoke generation characteristics at high temperatures also reduce maintenance requirements and contribute to a healthier working environment.
Viscogen KL is able to carry high mechanical loads at very high temperatures. Chain longevity is improved thanks to excellent penetration of conveyor chains and rope strands. This also combats dripping and throwing off when working at high speeds.
As is often the case with Castrol products, Viscogen KL offers excellent protection from rust and oxidation. Compared to other high temperature chain oils, Viscogen KL offers the following advantages:
- Extremely low evaporation rate, low residue formation and low smoke generation at high temperatures - enabling reduced maintenance, reduced lubricant consumption and better working environments.
- High load carrying ability under severe mechanical loads and high temperatures as well as excellent penetration on chains and wire rope strands - leading to longer chain life.
- No dripping or throwing off at high speeds or high temperatures - giving reduced lubricant consumption.
- Excellent rust protection, extraordinary oxidation resistance and no hard carbon build up - leading to longer chain life and reduced maintenance.
