Key Features of Castrol Aircol PD 68
- Versatile Application: Castrol Aircol PD 68 is designed to meet the lubrication needs of both reciprocating and rotary air compressors. It excels in rotary screw compressors, where the oil flooding of screw-type rotors is common.
- Ashless Formula: The oil's ashless composition minimises the formation of deposits, making it ideal for maintaining clean and efficient compressor operation.
- High-Temperature Performance: Engineered to perform under normal use conditions, where maximum air discharge temperatures do not exceed 100°C, as defined by ISO 6743-3:2003. This delivers consistent lubrication and protection even in demanding environments.
- Suitable for Normal and Severe Duty: Whether your application involves normal duty (discharge temperatures up to 165°C and pressures up to 7.0 MPa) or severe duty (discharge temperatures above 165°C and pressures exceeding 7.0 MPa), Castrol Aircol PD 68 can provide the necessary protection and reliability.
- ISO Compliance: The product meets the standards set by ISO 6743-3:2003 for compressor lubrication.
