Castrol Pyroplex Gold
Castrol Pyroplex Gold provides the ultimate protection against wear for critical equipment. A semi–synthetic, extreme pressure grease, Castrol Pyroplex Gold contains more than 20 percent solids, including 6 percent molybdenum disulfide, to give equipment a protective lubricant barrier against wear, even during conditions of high load.


High Loads/Heavy Loads Performance


Castrol Pyroplex Gold is recommended for heavily loaded pin joints and other components routinely subjected to high shock loads in extreme conditions. It carries a 70–pound OK load in the Timken Test Method, without the use of heavy metals. Additionally, Castrol Pyroplex Gold's outstanding wear protection was further validated after it received the highest possible score (800 kg) in the Four–Ball Weld Test (ASTM D 2596).

Extreme Pressure Protection Comparison

Low Temperature Performance

Castrol Pyroplex Gold will reach critical parts at temperatures that would make other greases too thick to pump. Other greases with high solid content may not be as mobile subjecting equipment to accelerated wear and possibly premature failure.
Staying Power
Castrol Pyroplex Gold uses Castrol's trademarked Hydro–Activation™ technology to guard against water spray–off. When exposed to moisture, Castrol Pyroplex Gold's hydro–activated additive actually causes an increase in tack and adhesion rather than a softening with eventual wash out. The Water Spray Off (ASTM D 4049) test results show that in comparison to other premium greases, Castrol Pyroplex Gold has superior adherence to metal surfaces, which lowers grease consumption and maintenance costs.

Mobility

Castrol Pyroplex Gold combines the mobility of a typical NLGI grade 1 grease with the staying power and extreme pressure performance of a NLGI grade 3 grease.
