Manufacturer's description

Gargoyle Arctic Oil 300 is a high-performance naphthenic mineral oil primarily intended for refrigeration compressors. It has a low pour point (-36°C) and excellent fluidity at very low temperatures by virtue of being almost wax-free, which helps keep evaporator tubes clean for improved heat transfer and reduced maintenance downtime. With good chemical stability, it suits both cylinder and bearing lubrication, and is compatible with most refrigerants except sulphur dioxide, but is not recommended for use with HFC refrigerants. It is the ISO VG 68 grade of the Mobil Gargoyle Arctic range, alongside Mobil Gargoyle Arctic Oil 155 (ISO VG 32) and Mobil Gargoyle Arctic C Heavy (ISO VG 46). The oil is recommended for cylinder and bearing lubrication in most conventional refrigeration compressors and other sub-zero machinery, including large industrial reciprocating and rotary refrigeration compressors, food freezing and cold storage plants, and marine refrigeration. It is used primarily with ammonia refrigerant, but also with selected halocarbons. Very low moisture content as packaged, and careful handling to keep the oil dry, help avoid ice formation in expansion valves and limit risks of oil degradation and copper plating. Typical properties of Gargoyle Arctic Oil 300: kinematic viscosity 68.0 mm²/s at 40°C, flash point 200°C, pour point -36°C and flocculation point (R12) -31°C. The Mobil Gargoyle Arctic brand offers low wax content for excellent low-temperature flow and evaporator heat transfer, good chemical stability for long service life and lower maintenance costs, and multi-purpose suitability for both cylinders and bearings that reduces oil inventories.
