SYF-1500
Synthetic Compressor Lubricants
Product Description

SYF-1500 series oils are based on the highest quality synthesized hydrocarbon fluids available. This synthetic PAO base fluid is designed to meet the needs of rotary and reciprocating industrial breathing air compressors. The product exhibits excellent high temperature properties coupled closely with outstanding oxidation resistance. Currently available lubricants often compromise on compressor requirements, for example reciprocating units using automotive crankcase oils formulated to MIL specifications can suffer from heavy carbon and ash deposits on valves, on the other hand, are formulated solely for compressors.

Benefits

• Reduce carbon formation and the risk of explosion, and increase safety.

• Virtually eliminate varnish and sludge deposits, ensuring that items such as oil/air separators in rotary. Compressors function efficiently at all times.

• Provide better demulsibility, which is needed for rapid and complete water separation (this is particularly important for oil flooded compressors, where condense can accumulate in oil receivers.

• Extend oil drainage intervals upto 8000 hours or 12 month’s operation

• Outstanding operating temperatures range which will effect operating economics in compressor down time and lubricant utilization.

• Good compatibility with elastomers used as seals in reciprocating compressors.

• Reduce oil consumption and carry over by virtue of their low volatility and good lubrication properties

• Maintain the high efficiency of reciprocating compressors by significantly reducing valve deposits.

• Reduce maintenance costs by reducing wear and deposits associated with the use of mineral oils, savings on replacement parts and labour can be achieved.

• Improve oil receiver and crankcase performance by virtue of their low foaming properties.
