Lubricants are essential in the industrial world to prevent friction between components. Most industries use lubricants, including Mining, Oil & Gas, Automotive, and Power Plants. Traditional lubricants utilize Surface Active Technology (Sacrificial) with EP (Extreme Pressure) & AW (Anti-Wear) additives, which provide a film layer on the metal surface by sacrificing the metal surface itself. However, the issue of inefficient lubricant use in industries is still prevalent.
Plastic Deformation Technology, exclusively available in Castrol lubricants, employs active molecular technology that allows it to adapt to changing conditions such as increased vibrations and temperatures. Plastic Deformation Technology has been proven to reduce the friction coefficient by up to 30% compared to standard oils, helping to lower gearbox operating temperatures and actively resist wear.
In this presentation, we will specifically introduce Plastic Deformation Technology and demonstrate how Castrol can reduce costs with Plastic Deformation, enhance productivity, and ensure maximum unit availability. This is not an easy task in the mining industry due to the harsh and challenging environments. Castrol HPL products are specially formulated for heavy-duty operating conditions and are supported by a service program designed specifically for these conditions.
