Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Compressor A SYN PAO 46 is part of the Compressor A SYN PAO series, supreme performance air compressor oils specially developed for up to 8,000 hours of oil life in service, even when operating at maximum discharge temperatures up to 120°C. Formulated with high viscosity index Polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base oils enhanced with advanced antioxidant, anti-rust and anti-foam additives, it provides excellent varnish and deposit control, and excellent thermal and oxidation stability for long-lasting performance. It is recommended for use in flooded rotary screw compressors and liquid ring vacuum pumps, and is compatible with mineral compressor oils. As the ISO VG 46 grade of the series, typical properties include density of 0.840 g/cm³ at 15°C, kinematic viscosity of 46 cSt at 40°C and 7.8 cSt at 100°C, viscosity index of 139, flash point of 268°C and pour point of -55°C. The series meets or exceeds key industrial specifications including ISO 6743-3 DAB and DAJ.

Applications

• PETRONAS Compressor A SYN PAO Series are supreme-performance air-compressor oils, specially developed for up to 8,000 hours of oil life in service, even at maximum discharge temperatures up to 120°C.
• Formulated with high-viscosity-index polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base oils enhanced with advanced antioxidant, anti-rust and anti-foam additives.
• They provide excellent varnish and deposit control and excellent thermal and oxidation stability for long-lasting performance.
• Recommended for flooded rotary-screw compressors and liquid-ring vacuum pumps; compatible with mineral compressor oils.

Performance & benefits

• Excellent varnish and deposit control, maintaining excellent internal surface cleanliness and providing longer equipment life.
• Excellent thermal and oxidation stability, maintaining performance under high temperatures and pressure and enabling long oil-drain intervals.
• Excellent low volatility, reducing maintenance and oil consumption.
• Excellent rust and corrosion protection, inhibiting the corrosion process that occurs in the presence of water and improving equipment life.
• High air release stability, maintaining excellent compressor efficiency and smooth system operation thanks to fast air release.
• Protects the system from air-degenerative effects while reducing maintenance costs.
• Excellent water separability, protecting the system from water-degenerative effects and maintaining system efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.
• High multi-metal compatibility, ensuring trouble-free performance with most metal alloys.
• High compatibility with most seals and elastomers, preventing oil leaks and contamination from seal erosion.
