Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oils are a premium quality, readily biodegradable synthetic lubricant developed for use in centrifugal air compressors and oil-flooded rotary screw, rotary lobe and rotary vane air compressors where the manufacturer specifies a synthetic polyglycol/ester lubricant. Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oils are also a drop-in replacement for OEM-branded polyglycol-based compressor oils. Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oils are particularly recommended for use in applications where operating conditions are unfavorable or too severe for conventional mineral oil-based compressor oils. Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oils are formulated with a blend of synthetic polyalkylene glycol (PAG) and synthetic ester base oils and carefully selected additives. Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oil has outstanding oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures to minimize deposit formation and provide long service life. It has high film strength to protect against wear, and also protects against rust and corrosion. Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oil is classified as readily biodegradable, as defined by the OECD 301B test method, for reduced environmental impact in case of leaks or spills. Synthetic PAG/ Ester Base Compressor Oils also passes the visual "no sheen" requirements of the U.S. EPA Static Sheen Test (Federal Register Vol. 58, No. 41).
