Compressor Lubricants

The compressor lubricants available through OEM Lubricants Ltd are from the correct supplier for your type of compressor. These can be lubricants for screw compressors and also lubricants for reciprocating compressors.

Synthetic Lubricants Compared to Mineral Oil in a Compressor

Year Round Dependability The wider temperature range of synthetic oils makes for easier start ups in Winter minimizing cold start wear and tear on compressor components. And the higher temperature capacity ensures excellent lubrication under the hottest conditions. The reduction in compressor sludge and varnish plus the better temperature range minimizes the chance of fire and explosion hazard compared to mineral oil.

Reciprocating Air Compressor Lubricant Benefits
Benefits of using synthetic compressor oils for reciprocating compressors:

  • Low volatility
  • High flash points
  • High auto ignition temperatures
  • Excellent oxidative and thermal stability
  • Low carbon-forming tendencies
  • Good natural solvency and detergency
  • Antirust properties
  • Low lubricant feed rates for compressor cylinders, which means less lubricant carry-over into the high-pressure air stream

Rotary Screw Air Compressors and Rotary Vane Air Compressor Lubricant Benefits

Benefits of using synthetic compressor oils for rotary screw air compressors and rotary vane air compressors include all the benefits of reciprocating air compressors plus...

  • Lower annual compressor oil cost (oil life of up to 8000 hours)
  • Cleaner compressors, intercoolers, and aftercoolers help eliminate vane sticking
  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Lower lubricant makeup rates
  • Improved compressor efficiency
  • Excellent cold-weather start-up
  • Low volatility
  • High flash points
  • High auto ignition temperatures
  • Excellent oxidative and thermal stability
  • Low carbon-forming tendencies
  • Good natural solvency and detergency
  • Antirust properties
  • Low lubricant feed rates for compressor cylinders, which means less lubricant carry-over into the high-pressure air stream
