Description

Castrol BioTrans has been developed as a range of drop-in replacements for conventional gear oils in order to minimise the environmental impact of the lubricant should it leak or spill into the sea. Deck equipment like cranes and winches and drill floor systems like rotary tables reply upon gearboxes for power transmission and many are situated in exposed positions where any leakage may make its way into the sea. The carefully selected base oils of Castrol BioTrans gear oils provide high levels of biodegradability in the marine environment, minimising the persistence of the product in the sea. Castrol BioTrans is miscible with conventional mineral oil-based gear oils. When changing from mineral oil based products to Castrol BioTrans, the system should be drained to ensure that the mineral oil content of the refilled system is less than 5%. This is necessary to ensure that the maximum environmental benefit is achieved.

Application

Castrol BioTrans gear oils are suited for the lubrication of enclosed gearboxes utilising spur, helical or planetary gearing, geared couplings, rolling or sliding bearings where a risk of spillage or leakage into the marine environment is apparent. Castrol BioTrans gear oils have an operating temperature range from -25°C to +90°C.
