Application

Castrol Aircol SN 100 is a compressor lubricant developed to cope with the severe operating conditions experienced in rotary screw, rotary vane and reciprocating air compressors operating at high compression ratios and high discharge temperatures. Under these conditions Aircol SN 100 offers much reduced carbon forming tendencies and extended oil life when compared to mineral oils due to the much higher oxidation resistance. In reciprocating units, Aircol SN 100 has up to eight times the service life of mineral oils.

Advantages of Castrol Aircol SN 100

Superior oxidation stability.
Improved lubricity and film strength.
Higher film strength and excellent anti-wear properties.
Excellent high temperature performance.
Reduced maintenance, extended oil life and cleaner operations, minimises carbon formulation and provides extended valve life.
Reduced oil consumption due to a reduction in the feed rate to the cylinder walls and piston rings without increasing wear rates. Since less lubricant is consumed the downstream air is also of higher quality.
Reduced compressor down-time due to less wear on all moving parts, longer machine life and reduced maintenance.
The operating range of Aircol SN 100 extends well beyond that of conventional mineral oils. The high spontaneous ignition temperature gives greater safety by reducing the possibility of downstream fires and explosions.
