High-Temperature Operation to 200°C

Engineered for continuous operation at discharge temperatures up to 200°C — where mineral oil-based compressor oils oxidise rapidly, form coke deposits in discharge lines and valves, and require frequent costly drain and clean-out cycles. The PAO base provides the thermal stability mineral oils cannot match.

Extended Oil Drain Intervals

Outstanding oxidation and thermal stability enables significantly longer drain intervals compared to mineral compressor oils — reducing oil consumption, maintenance frequency and production interruptions for oil changes in continuous-operation compressors on mining sites and processing plants.

Reduced Deposit & Coking Formation

Virtual absence of deposit formation at high temperatures — keeping discharge lines, after-coolers, coalescers and valves clean. Directly reduces maintenance costs, filter change frequency and the risk of blocked downstream equipment that causes compressor shutdown.

Improved Safety — Fire & Explosion Risk

High autogeneous ignition temperature and flash point of 246°C significantly reduce the potential for compressor fires and explosions compared to mineral oil products — an important consideration for continuous-duty industrial compressors operating at elevated temperatures in mining and processing plant environments.

Outstanding Water Separability

Exceptional water separating characteristics reduce emulsion formation, coalescer blockage and sludge in crankcases and discharge lines — maintaining reliable compressor operation in humid environments and reducing the frequency of coalescer and filter maintenance.

Anti-Wear & Corrosion Protection

High load-carrying ability protects compressor bearings and gears against wear. Effective rust and corrosion protection preserves internal compressor components across extended service intervals — extending compressor service life and reducing the cost of internal component replacement.
