CASTROL TRIBOL 890/100

Castrol Tribol™ 890 compressor oils are fully synthetic ester based lubricants formulated for long service life and clean deposit-free operation. They are manufactured in several viscosity grades to satisfy the lubrication needs of the most demanding air compressor applications (as well as many other process gases).

Application

Rotary vane and rotary screw compressors: Tribol 890/32 and 890/68 are designed for vacuum pumps and rotary compressors where circulation systems inject oil directly into the air stream to lubricate, cool and seal the compressor. The Tribol 890 range performs better than petroleum oils in flooded rotary vane and screw compressors. By minimizing varnish and carbon deposits, it can extend drain intervals from 1,000 hours to more than 5,000 hours in most vane compressors. Under normal use oil-flooded screw compressor drain intervals can be extended to over 8,000 hours with maximum air discharge temperatures <100°C, as defined by ISO 6743-3:2003. Tribol 890 can also be used in compressor units operating under severe conditions with maximum air discharge temperatures of >100°C with reduced oil drain intervals.
