PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are long-life, 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.COMPATIBILITY
