Compressor Oil ISO VG 46 (Rotary Screw)

Description

Product Overview
Compressor Oil ISO VG 46 (Rotary Screw) is a high-performance, petroleum-based lubricant engineered specifically for rotary screw air compressors operating under moderate to heavy loads. It delivers exceptional oxidation stability, rapid air separation, and superior wear protection, ensuring extended drain intervals and reduced maintenance downtime. In an era where industrial uptime directly drives profitability, this oil is a strategic enabler for continuous, energy-efficient compression operations across global manufacturing and process industries.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Highly refined mineral base oil (Group II) with zinc-based anti-wear additive package, rust inhibitors, and foam suppressants

• Purity / grade: ISO VG 46 viscosity grade, meeting DIN 51506 VDL and ISO 6743-3 classification

• Physical characteristics: Clear to light amber liquid; viscosity 46 cSt @ 40°C; density ~0.87 kg/L; pour point ≤ -15°C; flash point ≥ 220°C

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

• Shelf life: 36 months in sealed original container, stored between 5-40°C away from moisture

Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Automotive assembly, heavy machinery, food & beverage packaging, pharmaceutical manufacturing, textile production

• Specific use cases: Lubrication of oil-injected rotary screw compressors (5–250 kW), vane compressors, and some axial piston hydraulic systems requiring VG 46

• Why better: Outperforms standard hydraulic oils with 2x longer oil life (8,000 hours typical) due to superior thermal stability; reduces varnish formation and separator filter clogging, lowering annual filter replacement costs by up to 25%

• Efficiency advantage: Lower coefficient of friction vs. competing VG 46 oils improves compressor specific energy consumption (up to 3% energy savings)

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2025 certified production; every batch tested for viscosity, TAN, and foam characteristics

• Supply reliability: Regional blending hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America with 48-hour dispatch; dedicated safety stock held for contract buyers

• Logistics capability: Export-ready labeling and hazmat-compliant documentation (IMDG / IATA)

• Price competitiveness: Direct-from-blender pricing eliminates distributor markups; volume discounts available for 12-month commitments

• Sustainability: Low-SAPS formulation reduces airborne discharge; recyclable steel packaging; full MSDS and TDS available pre-purchase

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20MT (approximately 80 drums of 208L)

• Loading capacity per 20FT container: 20MT net (flexitank or 80 drums on pallets)

• Loading capacity per 40FT container: 26MT net (104 drums or two flexitanks)
