Castrol Braycote 248

Description

Braycote™ 248 is designed to protect machined, unpainted metal surfaces from the effects of indoor or shed exposure for

periods of six months or more. It is especially suitable for the preservation of anti-friction bearings in storage or shipment.

Application

Braycote 248 may be applied by dipping at temperatures from 160°F to 180°F (71°C to 82°C). It may be brushed or

swabbed on at room temperature when its consistency resembles a soft grease, or at elevated temperatures when it

resembles an oil. Hot spray applications can be used for protecting large pieces of equipment that are too large in size for

dipping applications. Optimal performance can be achieved only when the metal surfaces to be protected are clean, dry

and free of rust, oil and mill scale. The coverage of Braycote 248 will widely vary dependent on the method of application

and surface geometries. Parts allowed to reach the temperature of the compound before removal from the tank.

Approximate coverage and film thickness data for the different methods are given in the following table:
