Compressor Oil ISO VG 68

Description

1. Product Overview
Compressor Oil ISO VG 68 is a premium-grade lubricant engineered for rotary screw and reciprocating air compressors operating under moderate to high thermal stress. It delivers superior oxidation stability, rapid water separation, and anti-wear protection to maximize equipment life. The key value proposition is extended oil change intervals and reduced energy consumption, directly lowering operating expenses. As compressed air accounts for up to 10% of industrial electricity use, this product is strategically critical for cost-competitive and sustainable manufacturing.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Hydrotreated mineral base oil + zinc-free anti-wear additive package (ashless formulation)

• Purity / grade: ISO VG 68; meets DIN 51506 VDL, ISO 6743-3 DAB, and Atlas Copco R&R standards

• Physical characteristics:

  • Form: Clear liquid

  • Color: Light amber

  • Viscosity @ 40°C: 65–71 cSt

  • Density @ 15°C: 0.87–0.89 g/cm³

  • Flash point (COC): > 220°C

  • Pour point: -18°C

• Packaging options: 20L pail, 208L drum, 1,000L IBC, bulk truckload

• Shelf life: 36 months in sealed, original containers (unopened, dry storage)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Automotive manufacturing, food & beverage packaging, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, petrochemical processing, mining, and heavy engineering

• Specific use cases: Rotary screw compressors (injection-cooled), reciprocating compressors, and vane compressors with discharge temperatures up to 110°C

• Why it performs better: Low-carbon residue formulation reduces valve sticking and filter blockages; superior demulsibility prevents emulsion formation in humid environments

• Efficiency / cost advantage: Field tests show 12–18% lower power draw vs. standard mineral oils in partial-load cycling, plus 2x longer oil life (from 2,000 to 4,000 operating hours)

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Batch-tested for ISO viscosity tolerance within ±5% (industry standard ±10%)

• Supply reliability: 48-hour dispatch for drums/IBCs from regional hubs; guaranteed quarterly replenishment contracts

• Logistics capability: Bulk ISO tank and flexi-tank options; ocean + rail + truck multimodal across all major industrial zones

• Price competitiveness: Tier-1 performance at 25–30% lower acquisition cost than premium European equivalents

• Sustainability: Ashless additives enable recyclable used oil (lower hazardous waste classification); meets REACH and RoHS standards

• Technical support: Full SDS, OEM cross-reference tool, lubricant condition monitoring guide, and 24/7 engineering helpdesk

5. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): 4 drums (832 liters / 220 gallons) or 20 pails (400 liters)

• BULK 20MT: 20 metric tons = approx. 22,700 liters (as single ISO tank or split flexi-tanks)
