Compressor Oils
‘’ It’s all about the right lubricant.
Today compressed air is an important energy source for a lot of technical applications. So producing compressed air reliably is very important for the users. That ‘s why air compressors are key for a lot of industrial applications.
The main tasks of a compressor lubricant include:
- Lubricating the bearings
- Sealing (minimizing backflow losses)
- Dissipation of compression heat
- Corrosion protection (iron and non-ferrous metals)
- Wear protection
To meet these requirements, high-performance air compressor
lubricants need the following properties:
- excellent oxidative and thermal stability
- low evaporation / coking tendency
- low foaming tendency
- good long-term viscosity-temperature behaviour
- good air release properties
- high corrosion protection
- excellent aging resistance
- long service life
- good filtration behaviour
- extremely low residue formation
