Description
PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Synthetic Compressor Oil is a long-life, premium compressor lubricant. It incorporates the highest quality, thermally stable PAO synthetics fortified with premium non-detergent additives for maximum protection at high temperatures. It lasts up to 16,000 hours, effectively reducing maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Features and Benefits
Formulated to Improve Efficiency PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil has low-friction properties, resists viscosity increase from oxidation and helps improve operating efficiency.
Controls Foam and Reduces Wear PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil contains anti-foam additives and, unlike some other compressor oils, is anti-wear fortified. Good foam control reduces heat, oxidation and wear. High contact regions are protected against wear for increased compressor life and lower maintenance costs.
Resists Water Contamination Water from condensation builds up in compressors and can cause unwanted oil/water emulsions that lead to rust and corrosion. PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil is hydrolytically stable. It resists acid formation, readily separates from water and is anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained for simplified disposal and increased oil life.
Resists Heat and Oxidation PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil combines the inherent stability of premium synthetic base oils with specialized anti-oxidant additives to resist varnish, carbon and acid formation. It is formulated to protect compressors better and last longer in service than petroleum oils, especially during hot operating conditions.
Safety Advantage PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil is an ashless, high-flash-point formulation with very low carbon-forming tendencies that minimizes the incidence of ignition-promoting “hot spots.” While PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil can provide improved fire safety, it cannot be considered non-flammable.
Applications
Use the appropriate viscosity of PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil in single and multistage rotary screw, vane, centrifugal and reciprocating compressor crankcases and cylinders, vacuum pumps, pressure washer pumps and other applications such as gears, bearings, blowers and pumps. In compressor applications, drain intervals of 8,000 hours or more can be expected under normal operation. Drain intervals are subject to operating conditions and maintenance practices. Monitoring by oil analysis is recommended. For best performance when converting to PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil, it is recommended the compressor be flushed of the old oil and all filters changed prior to the installation of PACIFIC AIRCOMP PAO Series Oil. If carbon deposits are present on the internal components, it is recommended they be removed following the compressor manufacturer recommendations.
