Perfecto XEP Range

Premium antiwear turbine lubricant
Description
The Castrol Perfecto XEP turbine oil range of lubricants is based upon premium quality mineral oils enhanced with rust
and oxidation inhibitors to give maximum protection at high temperatures. They also contain antiwear additives to give
additional load carrying properties.
Application
Castrol Perfecto XEP grades are recommended for industrial gas turbines where the lubricant is likely to be exposed to
very high localised temperatures. They are also suitable for the lubrication of steam turbines and Combined Cycle
generating systems where the steam and gas turbines share a common oil supply.
Castrol Perfecto XEP grades possess superior air release performance, good resistance to foaming and excellent water
separation properties. They contain a load carrying additive and can be used in geared turbines with a common oil
reservoir.
The Castrol Perfecto XEP range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials.
The Castrol Perfecto XEP grades meet the requirements of, or are approved against, the following specifications:
British Standard BS 489
DIN 51515 -1 and -2
General Electric GEK 32568g, GEK 101941A and GEK 107395a (ISO 32)
Alstom HTDG 90 117 (formerly ABB)
Siemens TLV 9013 04 and 05
Features and Benefits

Superior resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation provides a very long life lubricant because of low deposit /
lacquer formation.
Antiwear properties including FZG 9 rating under A8.3/90 test conditions mean they are suitable for geared turbine
applications and for a wide range of other applications (e.g. pumps, motors, compressors, hydraulics, and
turbocouplings) thereby rationalising the lubricants required on site.
Suitable for the lubrication of both gas and steam turbines makes them suitable for Combined Cycle generating stations.
Excellent water separation and corrosion inhibition means reduced down time through prolonged lubricant life and
increased equipment reliability.

Care and Handling
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Packaging and Storage

All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to
avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C,
exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
