Air compressors

A good air compressor lubricating oil can add to the performance and longevity of the compressor and ensure a smooth start even in cold weathers. Synthetic compressor oils are usually preferred due to their capability to enable high performance in extreme temperatures.

The benefits of synthetic compressor lubricants are:

Extended oil service life
Prevention of formation of sludge that hinder performance
Aids cooler discharge of compressed air
Reduced re-lubrication
Higher flash points and auto ignition temperatures

Factors to consider when choosing air compressor lubricant oil

A compressor’s oil viscosity requirement is one of the important factors that leads to the selection of the compressor oil. Other factors include:

Ability to reduce rust formation
Thermal oxidation stability
Water shedding capability
