| AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic
Compressor Oil is a long-life, premium compressor lubricant
based on novel, proprietary technology. It incorporates the
highest quality, thermally stable PAO synthetics fortified with
premium non-detergent, ashless additives for maximum protection
at high temperatures and pressures. It lasts up to eight times
longer than petroleum oils, effectively reducing maintenance and
waste oil disposal costs.
Improves Compressor Efficiency
A MSOIL PC Series Oil has low friction properties and resists
viscosity increase from oxidation. It helps improve operating
efficiency and saves money on electrical energy consumption.
Controls Foam and Reduces Wear
AMSOIL PC Series Oil contains anti-foam additives and, unlike
some other compressor oils, is anti-wear fortified. Good foam
control reduces heat, oxidation and wear. High contact regions
are protected against wear for increased compressor life and
efficiency.
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors and can cause
unwanted oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards
and rust. AMSOIL PC Series Oil is hydrolytically stable. It
resists acid formation, readily separates from water and is
anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained for simplified
environmental discharge and increased oil life.
Resists Heat and Oxidation
AMSOIL PC Series Oil combines the inherent stability of premium
synthetic base oils with specialized anti-oxidant additives to
resist varnish, carbon and acid formation. It is formulated to
protect compressors better and last longer in service than
petroleum oils, especially during hot operating conditions.
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL PC Series Oil is an ashless, high-flash-point formulation
with very low carbon-forming tendencies that minimizes the
incidence of ignition-promoting hot spots. While PC Series Oil
can provide improved fire safety, it cannot be considered
non-flammable.
Application Recommendation
AMSOIL PC Series Oil in the appropriate viscosity is recommended
for use in single and multistage rotary screw, vane, centrifugal
and reciprocating compressor crankcases and cylinders, vacuum
pumps and other applications such as gears, bearings, blowers,
pumps and handheld pneumatic tools. In compressor applications,
drain intervals of 8,000 hours or more can be expected under
normal operation. Drain intervals are subject to operating
conditions and maintenance practices. Monitoring by oil analysis
is recommended. For best performance when converting to AMSOIL
PC Series Oil, it is recommended the compressor be drained of
the old fluid prior to the installation of PC Series Oil. If
carbon deposits are present on the internal components, it is
recommended they be removed following the compressor
manufacturer recommendations.
