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.
