Product Description

SYF-1740/150 is a high performance synthetic gas compressor lubricant based on a poly-alkylene glycol. It is designed for enclosed pattern gas compressors for hydrocarbon and chemical gases where the crankcase and bearings operate in a gas-filled atmosphere. Under these conditions the gas is readily soluble in mineral oil lubricants which, on dilution, suffer a significant drop in viscosity and lubricant performance. This problem can be overcome by using SYF-1740/150 in which the gases are much less soluble. SYF-1740/150 is particularly suitable for marine service on vessels carrying specialist liquefied gas cargoes..

Advantages

·   Reduced gas solubility leading to improved wear protection, extended lubricant life, improved compressor efficiency and Reduced foaming.

·    Multigas service for a wide rage of gases including vinyl chloride and butadiene. The lubricant does not promote the Dimerisation of butadiene or generate solid deposits.

SYF-1740/150 therefore obviates the need to change to mineral oil for butadiene compression, thus simplifying the lubricant inventory, avoiding mistakes and saving time and expense.

Applications:

SYF-1740/150 is used for the following gases: 

·       Liquefied petroleum gases such as propane and butane

·       Liquefied natural gases such as methane and ethane

·       Hydrocarbon chemical gases such as ethylene, propylene and butylene

         Chemical gases such as ammonia, vinyl chloride and butadiene
