A line of compressor and vacuum pump fluids based on ultra high-purity synthetic and mineral oil formulations claimed to last up to ten times longer than competitive alternatives is now available from Dow Corning. Marketed under the Molykote brand name, these fluids are formulated to provide reduced lubricant consumption, longer oil-drain intervals, and extended equipment life - advantages that reduce maintenance costs and effort.
Molykote compressor and vacuum fluids are comprised of unique formulations of synthetic polyalpha olefin (POA), polyalkylene glycol/polyester (PAG/POE), polyolester (POE), diester (DE) and ultra high-purity mineral oils that meet or exceed performance specifications for comparable OEM fill products.
The superior performance of these fluids is mainly due to a series of proprietary additive packages that significantly reduces oxidation rates caused by elevated pressures and temperatures, which can result in premature lubricant breakdown.
