Description
PACIFIC AIRCOMP FG 46 is a synthetic food grade lubricant designed for use in compressors where incidental food contact may occur.
Features and Benefits
PACIFIC AIRCOMP FG 46 is a PAO based, synthetic, food grade, compressor oil. Although it helps minimize the risk of fires and explosions, it is not a fire-resistant fluid. It delivers value through:
- Rust, corrosion, and foam protection
- Excellent high temperature oxidation resistance, combined with protection against rust and corrosion, helps to minimize deposits and promotes long life free from gum or discoloration. This means minimal oil changes, oil consumption, and compressor maintenance, and helps to minimize the risk of fires and explosions.
- Ready separation from water
- Low volatility oil that is stable at high temperatures through use of synthetic hydrocarbon (PAO) base oil.
- Low pour point — Formulated for use in severe operating environments as low as -40 °C (-40 °F).
Applications
PACIFIC AIRCOMP FG 46 is recommended for both rotary and reciprocating air compressors. It is particularly useful in applications where incidental food contact may occur with oil in the discharge air. It may also be used where an R&O or mild antiwear hydraulic oil with high temperature stability and excellent low temperature fluidity performances are required.
PACIFIC AIRCOMP FG 46 is compatible in many ammonia refrigerant systems as well as systems containing R 12 refrigerant. It is not compatible with HFC-134A type refrigerant. It is similar to mineral oil in its compatibility with paints, seals, gaskets and hoses including: Celcon, Delrin, epoxy paint, high nitrile Buna N, nylon, oil-resistant alkyd, PBT, Teflon and Viton.
- It conforms to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements of lubricants with incidental food contact, 21 CFR 178.3570. Lubricants with incidental food contact should not contaminate food at levels greater than 10 ppm.
- It is certified Kosher and Pareve.
Do not use in high pressure systems in the vicinity of flames, sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep container closed.
Do not use in breathing air apparatus or medical equipment.
