Both synthetic and petroleum-based oils have their place in gas compressor applications. In cases where a synthetic lubricant is not needed or would constitute over-engineering, customers fear the presence of impurities common to many mineral base stocks. Those impurities can react with components of the gas stream to form by-products harmful to the compressor system.;Benefits for your application;Mineral oil based lubricants with some features comparable to the ones offered by fully synthetic oils;High viscosity index and low pour point lead to a large temperature range;Superior thermal and oxidative stability lead to longer lifetime compared to conventional mineral oils;Only trace amounts of impurities in comparison to other petroleum-based compressor oils;Lower maintenance and operating costs thanks to less carbon and varnish formation;Special formulation inhibits corrosive effects of wet CO 2 and H 2 S often found in gas compressor applications
