Compressor Oils
Lubricants for air compressors: an essential element
These days compressed air is an important energy transfer medium in a number of technical application areas. The reliable generation of compressed air is of crucial importance to many users and as a result, air compressors are vital equipment in many industrial areas.
As short life or breakdowns can lead to production stoppages, the use of the right lubricant is a prerequisite for the reliable and efficient operation of plant and machinery. In recent years, compressed air generation has been optimized and as a result, greater demands are now placed on air compressor oils.
Operators expect long machinery service intervals and thus also longer life of compressor lubricants. But not just oil change intervals have been extended; oil temperatures have risen along with the reduction in oil volumes. To safely satisfy these demands, FUCHS developed special RENOLIN air compressor oils and subjected them to the severest of practical trials.
Good reasons to choose RENOLIN compressor oils:
- Excellent oxidative and thermal stability
- Low evaporation / coking tendency
- Low foaming tendency
- Good long-term viscosity-temperature behavior
- Good air release properties
- High corrosion protection
- Excellent aging resistance
- Long service life
- Good filtration behavior
- Extremely low residue formation

Main tasks of a compressor lubricant:
- Lubricating the bearing
- Sealing (minimizing backflow losses)
- Dissipation of compression heat
- Corrosion protection (iron and non-ferrous metals)
- Wear protection
Featured products
RENOLIN SilverScrew
The products of the RENOLIN SilverScrew series are hightech air compressor fluids with high oxidative and thermal stability for an extended oil service life of up to 6.000 operating hours.
These products are particularly recommended for use in oil-injected screw compressors.
They can also be used in piston and vane compressors.
RENOLIN GoldScrew
The RENOLIN GoldScrew range are outstanding high-tech air compressor fluids with extremely high oxidative and thermal stability. They are designed for an extended service life of up to 9.000 operating hours. These lubricants represent the highest class of base oil and additive technology in the field of oil-injected screw compressors and are an alternative to PAO-based compressor oils.
RENOLIN UNISYN OL
RENOLIN UNISYSN OL are fully synthetic high-performance air compressor oils based on synthetic polyalphaolefin base oils. The products have a high natural viscosity index, excellent low-temperature behavior and outstanding air separation properties.
Depending on the viscosity, they are suitable for turbo, screw, piston and vane compressors.
