Product Data Sheet

Magna™CH 150 EP
Industrial Chain and Guide Oil

Description
Castrol Magna™CH 150 EP is formulated from premium quality refined base oils and contains anti-wear and tackifier
for application as a general lubricant in modern multi blade gang saws, edgers, chains, slides, sprockets, arbours and
bearings as utilised in the saw mill industry.

Magna CH 150 EP contains sulphur-phosphorus as the extreme pressure (EP) additive, oxidation & corrosion inhibitors
and antifoamers. It demonstrates good demulsification, making it an excellent all-round lubricant for the Timber industry.

Application
Magna CH 150 EP is an excellent general machine lubricant which has been designed to be utilised as a common fluid
in central lubrication systems as found in modern commercial saw mill operations.

Magna CH 150 EP is formulated to give superior lubrication to modern multi blade gang saws and edgers for both saw
guide, arbour and blade lubrication, thereby enabling higher accuracy cutting while maintaining saw cleanliness.

Chains, sprockets, slides, bearings and gearbox applications can also be lubricated allowing for a reduction of
lubrication products on site.

Magna CH 150 EP was developed in Australia to meet the unique needs of the Australasian Timber industry.

Advantages
Sulphur-phosphorus EP additives. Good load carrying ability - reduced wear under heavy loads.
Antioxidation additives. Withstands elevated temperatures – extended service life.
Contains corrosion inhibitors. Resistance to chemical corrosion – ongoing protections of lubricated surfaces
Excellent demulsification properties. Ability to handle water ingress – maintains full lubrication film, no loss of
performance.
Tackifying additive. Prevents throw off – maintains full lubrication film.
