CASTROL® BRAYCO™ LUBRICANTS & SOLVENTS
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 300
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 300 is an amber-colored general purpose lubricating oil & preservative formulated from a blend of highly refined petroleum oil with suitable additives which provide effective lubrication, corrosion prevention, oxidation resistance, freedom from galvanic corrosion in brass-steel bimetallic systems and water displacement capability in general purpose applications at low and medium temperatures (-70ºF to 300ºF). It can be used for lubrication and preservation of small arms, automatic weapons, and fuse mechanism applications, especially where a low temperature, water displacing oil is desired). It may be used to protect unpainted metal surfaces from the effects of indoor storage for periods of three to six months, after which it remains readily removable. It ensures reliable performance, protection, and corrosion resistance in challenging environments. It consists an ideal choice for maintaining equipment functionality, preventing water-related damage, and extending the service life of components.Meets all the requirements of, and is qualified to MIL-PRF-32033A Type I Class 1 & NATO O-190. Its maximum recommended shelf life is 6 years from date of manufacture. Available in 1 US Quart cans 5 US Callon (20 liters) pail, and 55 USG drums.
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 460
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 460 is a petroleum-based, jet engine lubricating oil. The base oil is a highly refined mineral oil meeting the highest standards of quality. Designed for use in older jet engines and other high-speed turbines that require this type of petroleum-based turbine oil. May also be used in various applications requiring low temperature operation and good viscosity behavior. Specifications: MIL-PRF-6081E, Grade 1010 NATO: O-133. A.
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 599
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 599 is a specially designed synthetic base, dark amber, rust preventative concentrate. It is designed for use as an additive for storage at 10-15% by volume for turbine engines and helicopter transmissions which use MIL-PRF-23699 synthetic turbine oils. Lower concentrations, between 5 and 10 percent, may be suitable for some component storage applications, depending upon storage conditions and length of storage.
To receive full protection when the equipment is intended to be placed in extended storage, CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 599 should be added to the oil sump immediately after an oil change, especially in locations where high humidity and salt spray are present. The corrosion inhibited oil should be capable of limited use, not exceeding 25 hours. It is recommended to add CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 599 in concentrations between 10 and 15 percent by volume.
Meets all the requirements of, and is qualified to MIL-PRF-8188D. Complies with General Electric, Aircraft Engine Group Specification D50TF6-S1.
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 599 has a maximum recommended shelf life of 9 years from date of manufacture. This shelf life assumes that the product is stored in its original unopened packaging in ambient temperature conditions.
Consult the engine manufacturer's maintenance manual or service bulletin to determine the specific engine model storage requirements.
Available in different packaging options, 8 ounce tins, 5 US gallon pails and 55 US gallon drum containers.
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 815Z PFPE Base Oil
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ 815Z is a clear water white perfluorinated polyether based fluid. It is virtually inert, compatible with rocket propellants and oxidizers, is unaffected by ultraviolet, cosmic radiation, or high vacuums. It has an exceptionally high viscosity index and low volatility, and has little tendency to form deposits. This product is highly recommended for use in applications at low temperature extremes and in high vacuum. It exhibits excellent lubricating properties, good dielectric properties, excellent shear stability, and low toxicity. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X100 or Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE can be used to remove this lubricant. Refer to the data sheets for information regarding these products.
BRAYCO™ 815Z is essentially insoluble in current fuels and oxidizers, as well as in most organic solvents. This product is intended for use in extreme environments, and has been used successfully in many space missions and in sensitive electronic equipment. It is particularly suited for those applications where extreme vacuums and wide temperature variations are common. Perfluorinated fluids, in general, exhibit excellent shelf lives due to their intrinsic inertness.
BRAYCO™ 815Z is compatible with all commonly utilized materials, plastics, and elastomers. It may be adversely affected by Lewis Acid Catalysts such as aluminum chloride at elevated temperatures. Newly exposed rubbing surfaces of aluminum, magnesium, or titanium alloys may react with this product under certain conditions. Such systems should be thoroughly evaluated. Surfaces must be well cleaned of organic rust inhibitors prior to oil application to ensure proper lubrication.
CASTROL® BRAYCOTE™ 296 Sub-Micronic Extreme Low Volatility Grease
CASTROL® BRAYCOTE™ 296 (formerly Microcote™ 296) is smooth, off-white colored perfluoropolyether grease, in NLGI grade 2. It uses a proprietary base fluid thickened with a special tetrafluoroethylene gelling agent. Specially formulated to provide wear protection in most load and speed conditions under high or extreme vacuum environments. BRAYCOTE™ 296 greases offer excellent lubricity, thermal stability, low volatility, good shear stability, low acute toxicity and contain no sodium or other alkali metal containing ingredients. They are nonflammable and chemically inert. Castrol Brayco™ IC X-100 (previously called Fluoroclean™ X100) can be used to remove these lubricants.
Typical applications include robotics used for semi-conductor production and other electronic applications. Can also be used to lubricate bearings, gyros, gears, and as an assembly lubricant for O-rings and elastomers. Temperature Range: -50ºC to 204ºC (-58ºF to 400ºF).
CASTROL™ 5000 Synthetic Aircraft Turbine Engine Oil
Castrol™ 5000 is a 5 centistoke "Type II" synthetic lubricant designed for use in modern gas turbine engines operating at bulk oil temperatures exceeding those which "Type I" oils can successfully withstand. It is a clear, amber-colored fluid having the appearance of a thin oil with a faint aromatic odor. It is based on a blend of high quality hindered esters and additives used to offer a product with excellent high temperature and oxidation stability, good load-carrying properties and complete compatibility with engine and accessory constructional materials, such as metals and elastomeric sealing compounds.
Castrol™ 5000 is compatible with other MIL-PRF-23699F Std, 5 centistoke gas turbine lubricanrts such as AEROSHELL® 500, 560, EXXONMOBIL® Mobil Jet Oil II, EXXONMOBIL® Mobil Jet Oil 254, EASTMAN Turbo Oil 2380™ and others. However, it is unwise to mix grades of different viscosity.
Castrol™ 5000 oil is not compatible with mineral oils and while it is miscible with phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, the latter will have a detrimental effect such as coking propensity and resistance to corrosion.
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ IC X-100 Nonflammable Solvent and Grease Remover
CASTROL® BRAYCO™ IC X-100 (previously called Fluoroclean™ X-100) is a high-performance, environmentally friendly, non-flammable solvent. It is chemically inert, non-flammable, very low in toxicity, and compatible with most metals, plastics, and elastomers.
The formulation of BRAYCO™ IC X-100 is the same as Fluoroclean X-100 acting as a replacement for Fluoroclean HE which is no longer being produced.
BRAYCO™ IC X-100 is designed for use as a substitute for Freon 113 (CFC-113)* in grease plating perfluorinated lubricants and other halogenated lubricants, including Castrol Braycote 600EF, 601EF, 602EF, 603EF, 631, 631A, 640, 640AC, 802, 802RP, 803, 803RP, 803EP, 804, 805, 806, 806RP, 807, 807RP, 812, 815Z, 1613, 1616, 1624, 1625, 1632, 1636, 1721, 1722, 1723, 1724, 1728, 1729, Optitemp 1000 (formerly Endurex 1000), and Braycote GS, LVP, and 296.
