Product description
Both synthetic and petroleum-based oils have their place in gas compressor applications. In cases where a synthetic lubricant is not needed or would constitute over-engineering, customers fear the presence of impurities common to many mineral base stocks. Those impurities can react with components of the gas stream to form by-products harmful to the compressor system.
Benefits for your application
-
Mineral oil based lubricants with some features comparable to the ones offered by fully synthetic oils
High viscosity index and low pour point lead to a large temperature range
Superior thermal and oxidative stability lead to longer lifetime compared to conventional mineral oils
Only trace amounts of impurities in comparison to other petroleum-based compressor oils
-
Lower maintenance and operating costs thanks to less carbon and varnish formation
-
Special formulation inhibits corrosive effects of wet CO2 and H2S often found in gas compressor applications
