description | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3050 A is a proprietary blend of ashless additives to formulate premium grade ashless antiwear hydraulic oils. No demulsifier or antifoam additives are present |
Appearance | Clear, yellow to brown liquid |
Applications and
typical treat levels | Industrial lubricants formulated with
Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3050 A 0.85 % wt.
meet or exceed the following requirements: |
| | |
| | - DIN 51 524, Part 2 ; Sperry Vickers I-286-S, M-2950-S
|
| | - AFNOR NFE 48-690 (dry), 48-691 (wet) filtration tests ; AFNOR NFE 48 603 (HM)
|
| | - Cincinnati Machine P-68, P-69 and P-70
|
| Benefits | - Easy to handle liquid , readily soluble in mineral oil
|
| | Compatibilities |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3050 A based lubricants have good water compatibility thus providing enhanced performance and life time
|
| | Metal surface protection |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3050 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, robust, rust prevention
|
| | Lubricant (oxidation inhibition) protection) |
| | Very good thermal and oxidative stability |
| | All Ciba Specialty Chemicals, ashless industrial packages are compatible with one another |
| Note | The solubility of Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3050 A should be carefully checked if hydrotreated, hydrocracked or PAO base stocks (API Classification Groups II and III ) are used |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 3050 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
