The correct manufacturer-recommended viscosity
grade of AMSOIL PC Series compressor oil is recommended for use
in rotary screw, rotary vane, reciprocating and other compressor
applications. Compatible with PAO-, ester- and petroleum-based
compressor oils. They are not compatible with glycol- or silicone-based
compressor oils.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are
longlife, premium compressor lubricants based on novel, proprietary
technology. They incorporate the highest quality, thermally-stable
PAO synthetics fortified with premium non-detergent, ashless additives
for maximum protection at high temperatures and pressures. They
last up to eight times longer than petroleum oils, effectively
reducing maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Improves Compressor Efficiency
AMSOIL PC Synthetic Compressor Oils have low
friction properties and they resist viscosity increase from oxidation.
They help improve operating efficiency and save money on electrical
energy consumption.
Controls Foam and Reduces Wear
AMSOIL PC Compressor Oils contain anti-foam additives
and, unlike other compressor oils, they are anti-wear fortified.
Good foam control reduces heat, oxidation and wear. High contact
regions are protected against wear for increased compressor life
and efficiency.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors
that can cause unwanted oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge
hazards and rust. AMSOIL PC Synthetic Compressor Oils are hydrolytically
stable. They resist acid formation, readily separate from water
and are anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained off for
simplified environmental discharge and increased oil life.
Resists Heat and Oxidation
AMSOIL PC Series Compressor Oils combine the
inherent stability of premium synthetic base oils with specialized
anti-oxidant additives to resist varnish, carbon and acid formation.
They protect compressors better and last longer in service than
petroleum oils, especially during hot operating conditions.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are
ashless, high flash point formulations with very low carbonforming
tendencies that minimize the incidence of ignition-promoting “hot
spots.” While PC Synthetic Compressor Oils can provide improved
fire safety, they cannot be considered non-flammable.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
The appropriate viscosity of AMSOIL PC Series
Synthetic Compressor Oil is recommended for use in single and
multistage rotary screw, vane, centrifugal and reciprocating compressor
crankcase and cylinders, vacuum pumps and other applications such
as gears, bearings, blowers, pumps and handheld pneumatic tools.
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, AMSOIL recommends
the compressor be drained prior to the installation of PC Synthetic
Compressor Oil. If carbon deposits are present on the internal
components, it is recommended they be removed following the compressor
manufacturer recommendations.
Note: Not recommended for “breathing
air” or refrigeration compressors. Not recommended for use
with polycarbonate plastic that is not metal covered, PVC plastic
and butyl, ethylene-propylene or SBR rubber. PC Series Oils are
Not Compatible with polyalkylene glycol or silicone oils.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health
concerns when used for the intended application and according
to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
