Castrol Tribol 1510/680, 20L

Castrol Tribol™ 1510 gear oils with TGOA represent a significant advancement in gear oil technology. TGOA is an additive package designed to reduce friction while providing surface improvement and protection. The TGOA additive package can outperform most other EP and anti-wear additives because of its unique action on friction surfaces. The synthetic base fluid in these gear oils is a polyalphaolefin which can be used in a wide temperature range. It is compatible with sealing mineral oils. Blended into this is the latest development in the field of surface improving additive technology designated TGOA. The TGOA additive package is activated by relatively high specific loads and corresponding temperatures, causing a chemical-physical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface roughness without creating abrasion. This process can be compared with a rolling process. The surface roughness is gradually leveled and smoothed. Through smoothing of the working surfaces the actual load carrying area is enlarged. During the running-in process, the TGOA package creates an optimum of smooth contact surfaces. If, because of shock loads or stopand-go operation, surface roughness peaks redevelop, the TGOA additive package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again smoothed and lubrication optimized.
