Castrol Perfecto X 46 – Premium Turbine Oil for High Performance
Description: Castrol Perfecto X 46 is a premium turbine oil formulated from high-quality mineral oils and additives for anti-rust and anti-oxidation to provide maximum protection at high temperatures.
Application: Perfecto X is recommended for use in gas turbines where the lubricant must withstand very high local temperatures. It is also suitable for steam turbines and combined cycle systems where gas and steam turbines share a common oil reservoir. Perfecto X exhibits excellent air release, anti-foaming, and water separation properties. It is fully compatible with sealing materials such as nitrile, silicone, and fluoropolymer.
Standards and Approvals: Perfecto X meets or exceeds the following specifications:
- British Standard BS 489
- DIN 51515 -1 and -2
- GEK 32568g and GEK 107395A (ISO 32)
- Alstom HTDG 90 117 (formerly ABB)
- Siemens TLV 9013 04 and 05
Advantages:
- Superior oxidation and thermal stability, providing long oil life by minimizing deposit/sludge formation.
- Excellent air release properties meet the requirements of all turbine manufacturers.
- Outstanding water separation and anti-rust properties reduce downtime by extending oil life and enhancing equipment reliability.
- Suitable for both gas and steam turbines, making it ideal for combined cycle power plants.
