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
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.
