Description

CASTROL OPTILEB? GR 9830 (previously named Molub-Alloy? Foodproof 9830) is a special high-temperature grease

formulated from a synthetic oil and solid lubricants, developed for the lubrication of rolling and sliding bearings. This

blend provides for excellent wear protection, increased service life and extended relubrication intervals at the same time.

The grease is excellently suited for high-temperature applications in the food and beverage industries where minimum

lubricant consumption, drip-free lubrication and physiological safety are required. It can also be used as a safety sliding

agent for oxygen installations.

Application

Especially suited for applications in baking and drying ovens in the food and canning industries.

Due to its low volatility, is also suited for vacuum applications, e.g. coating installations.

May be used in continuous service up to 250°C and be exposed to temperatures up to 280°C for short-time

applications.

Advantages

Aging resistance at high temperatures

Thermal and chemical stability

Resistant to most solvents, even chlorinated hydrocarbons, strong acids, alkalis and oxidizing agents, e.g.:

acetone, benzene, benzol, boron trifluoride, bromine, chlorine, chlorobenzene, cyclohexane, dioxan, natural gas,

ethylene acetate, fluorine, halogens, potassium hydroxide, methylene chloride, methyl formiate, sodium

hydroxide, perchloro-ethylene, petroleum ether, hydrochloric and sulphuric acid, tetrahydrofurane, toluol, 1.1.1.

trichlorethane, trichlorethylene, xylol

Excellent lubricating properties – as measured by standard laboratory tests and extensive field evaluations

Extended relubrication intervals without undue risk of lubricant starvation or increased lubricant consumption

Below 280°C the lubricant resists the thickening and hardening which is typical of mineral oil products in hightemperature

applications

Minimum consumption, economic application and clean operating conditions

Compatible with the following sealing materials: NBR, EPDM, NR, MWQ, PVMQ, PA, PE, PUR, PTFE

Physiologically safe; approval by LGA (Bavaria)
