Appearance | Clear, yellow to brown liquid |
Applications and
typical treat levels | Industrial lubricants formulated with Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 605 A
(e.g. at 0.8 %) meet or exceed the following specifications |
| | High load carrying hydraulic fluids: |
| | - SEB specifications (SEB = Stahl-Eisen-Blatt - German Steel Industry)
|
| | - Brugger Weingarten requirements
|
| | - Busak and Shamban Micro scratching test
|
| | Industrial gear oil: |
| | - DIN 51517 Part 3 (CLP) Edition March 2002
|
| Benefits | Easy to handle liquid, readily soluble in mineral oil |
| | Metal surface protection |
| | Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 605 A based lubricants protect equipment (pumps, gears, metal surfaces) effectively |
| | - good FZG, Brugger-Weingarten, Timken, FE8 and vane pump tests
|
| | - excellent rust prevention
|
| | Lubricant (oxidation inhibition) protection |
| | - Very good thermal and oxidative stability
|
| | - Excellent surface properties (air release, foam, demulsibility)
|
| | All Ciba Specialty Chemicals' lubricant additives and packages are compatible with one another |
| Note | The compatibility of hydraulic fluids formulated using Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 605 A with other hydraulic fluids, particularly those containing zinc and / or calcium, should always be carefully checked. |
| | Lubricants formulated with Ciba® IRGALUBE® ML 605 A may discolor in use. This has no negative effect on the lubricant characteristics and performance. |
