CHEVRON SYNTHOLUBE® COMPRESSOR OILS
ISO 32, 68, 100, 150
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Chevron Syntholube Compressor Oils deliver value
through:
• Long life — Chevron Syntholube Compressor Oils
have a low sludge-forming tendency and a high
solvency for deposits that help to keep compressor
parts clean. Their ability to reduce oil consumption
and carry over; reduce varnish, sludge, and
deposits; as well as increase deposit-free valve life
translates to reducing compressor maintenance and
energy costs.
• Ignition safety — Chevron Syntholube
Compressor Oils provide a greater margin of safety
than conventional petroleum products because their
flash points, fire points, and autoignition
temperatures are much higher. They are not,
however, true fire resistant fluids.
FEATURES
Chevron Syntholube Compressor Oils are synthetic
diester-based, oxidation resistant, compressor oils.
APPLICATIONS
Chevron Syntholube Compressor Oils are used for
portable and stationary rotary screw, rotary vane, and
reciprocating compressors. While specific manufacturer
recommendations vary, the ISO 32 and ISO 68
grades are most commonly used for rotary
compressors, while higher viscosity grades are
preferred for reciprocating units.
These oils can be used in compressors with the
following gases: process air, benzene, butadiene,
carbon dioxide (dry), carbon monoxide, ethylene,
furnace (crack) gas, helium, hydrocarbon gases,
hydrogen, inert gases, methane, natural gas, nitrogen,
propane, sulfur hexafluoride, and synthesis gas.
Chevron Syntholube Compressor Oils can be used in
contact with the following seals, paints, and plastics1:
• Viton®
• High nitrile Buna N
• Teflon®
• Epoxy paint
• Oil-resistant alkyd
• Nylon
• Delrin®
• Celcon®
These oils should not be used with:
• Neoprene
• SBR rubber
• Low nitrile Buna N
• Acrylic paint
• Lacquer
• Polystyrene
• PVC
• ABS
Chevron Syntholube Compressor Oils are certified by
NSF and are acceptable as lubricants 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.
Do not use in high pressure systems in the vicinity of
flames, sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in well
ventilated areas. Keep container closed.
Do not use in breathing air apparatus or medical
equipment.
