CAPELLA® WF
ISO 32, 68
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Capella® WF oils are designed for use as refrigeration
compressor oils.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Capella WF oils deliver value through:
• Wax-free — Suitable for ultra-low temperature
service.
• Water-free — Low moisture content helps prevent
icing in refrigeration expansion valves and helps
prevent system corrosion.
• Low carbon residue — Helps minimize the
tendency to form carbon deposits on the hot spots
of the compressor unit.
• Excellent compatibility in both Freon and
ammonia systems — Suitable for use in many
types of refrigeration systems.
• Premium quality — Helps prevent lubricantcaused
equipment failures.
• Thermal stability — For long service life.
FEATURES
Capella WF oils help provide maximum wear protection
to refrigeration compressor or system in which they
are used.
Capella WF oils are manufactured using specially
refined naphthenic mineral oils. Carefully selected base
stocks assure the exceedingly low pour points
necessary for refrigeration compressor lubricants.
They are highly refined and specially treated to help
resist the sludging action of refrigerants in the
presence of high temperature and metal catalysts.
APPLICATIONS
Capella WF oils are suitable for use in refrigeration
systems. They are particularly suitable for modern,
compact, high pressure refrigeration systems using
Freon. Since they are wax-free, they are suitable for
use in very cold ambient temperatures as a bearing
lubricant or for hand oiling.
Capella WF oils are unsuitable for refrigerant systems
using HFC refrigerants, such as R-134a.
The viscosity grade for the application should be based
on the equipment manufacturer’s recommendation.
Capella WF oils satisfy the requirements of hermetically
sealed air conditioning compressors or the many types
of smaller units.
Capella WF oils are registered by NSF and are
acceptable as a lubricant where there is no possibility
of food contact (H2) in and around food processing
areas. The NSF Nonfood Compounds Registration
Program is a continuation of the USDA product
approval and listing program, which is based on
meeting regulatory requirements of appropriate use,
ingredient review and labeling verification.
