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 resist
viscosity increase from oxidation. They help improve operating efficiency
and save money on electrical energy consumption.
Control 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.
Resist 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.
Resist 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 are formulated to 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.
