UCON Air Compressor Lubricant S-8 Plus
Product Description
UCON Air Compressor Lubricant S-8 Plus (AC S-8 Plus) is an OSP (Oil-Soluble Polyalkylene Glycol) based exceptional air compressor oil, with performance benefits including long lifetime, outstanding deposit control, excellent anti-foaming, fast air release, etc. By using OSP and specialized additive package, this fluid is ideal for use in light to heavy duty rotary screw air compressor requiring long service life under high pressure and temperature with varnish and deposit control requirement. UCON Air Compressor Lubricant S-8 Plus is suitable for use with many elastomer materials in air compressors seal and gaskets.
Features and Key Benefits
Long Oil Life
Be capable of providing extended oil lifetime and maintenance intervals up to over 8000hrs (where allowed by manufacturers). Exact oil maintenance interval will depend on the intake air quality, load, duty cycle, ambient conditions, etc. For working conditions under harsh environment, a reduced oil maintenance interval is recommended.
Outstanding Deposit Control
Resist formation of deposits on cooler, air end and separator in screw compressors for continuous efficient operation. Reduced sludge and deposit formation lead to improved equipment reliability and compressor efficiency. This is critical to maintain high levels of performance for the compressors.
Rapid Air Release and Anti-foaming Properties
Rapid air release means improved system efficiency: smaller reservoir sizes may be possible; reduced risk of cavitation; lower rates of fluid oxidation; improved air compression efficiency, heat transfer and lubrication.Rapid air release without excessive foaming affords the trouble-free operation, reliable start-up and continuous compressed air availability and low carry over.
Excellent Low Volatility Characteristics
Low volatility and oil carryover afford the benefits of less oil make up rate and improved air quality.
Miscibility
Be miscible with most hydrocarbon and ester base oil including mineral oil, PAO, ester, etc.
High Flash Point and Safe Handling
Higher flash point than most commercial hydrocarbon oil formulations increases the margin of safety concerns.
High Heat Capacity
Higher heat capacity than most commercial hydrocarbon oil formulations means better cooling efficiency.
