| Chemical description | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3010 A is a proprietary blend of ashless additives to formulate normal grade ashless antiwear hydraulic oils and compressor lubricants. It includes demulsifier and antifoam additives |
Appearance | Clear, yellow to brown liquid |
Applications and
typical treat levels | Industrial lubricants formulated with
Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3010 A 0.55 % wt.
meet or exceed the following requirements: |
| | Ashless antiwear hydraulic fluids: DIN 51 524, Part 2; Sperry Vickers I-286-S: AFNOR NFE 48603 (HM): Cincinnati Machine P-68, P-69 and P-70 |
| | Compressor lubricants: DIN 51 506 VDL |
| Benefits | Compatibilities |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3010 A based lubricants have good water compatibility therefore providing enhanced performance and life time to the lubricant.
|
| | Metal surface protection |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3010 A based lubricants protect the equipment (pumps, gears, metal surfaces) effectively |
| | - good pump and FZG performance [which can be improved still further by addition of Ciba® IRGALUBE® 353 (300 ppm)]
|
| | - excellent rust prevention
|
| | All Ciba Specialty Chemicals, Lubricant Additives, ashless industrial packages are compatible with one another |
| Restrictions | The solubility of Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3010 A should be carefully checked if hydrotreated, hydrocracked or PAO base stocks (API Classification Groups II and III) are used. |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3010 A based lubricants: |
| | - show limited compatibility with ZnDTP based hydraulic oils and engine oils. Contamination by these lubricants may lead to filter blockage and must be checked individually.
|
| | - may discolor in use. This has no negative effect on the lubricant characteristics and performance
