Valvoline Cummins Private Limited, the Engine Oil maker and a global lubricant manufacturer with 150 years of innovating ground-breaking lubricant technologies, has launched PAO-based, full synthetic compressor oil – Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68 for air compressors. Through this launch, Valvoline has continued its rich legacy of introducing innovative products for its customers.
Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68 is highly recommended for RIG applications where compressors take deep drilling for extended periods in dusty environments and are prone to significant wear and tear. The innovative product is formulated with Ashless Zinc free additives that extend the drain interval up to 8,000 hours in stationary electric-powered compressors and meets the stringent standards of ISO 6743-3A-DAB & DAJ & DIN 51506 VDL.
Valvoline Cummins Private Limited spokesperson said, “With changing times and technology, it is important that supporting products should also be upgraded. Being cognizant of this, we have launched Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68, which is superior to mineral oils and offers unbeatable performance even in the harshest of operating conditions. It helps keep costs under control and minimize factory operation interruptions, thereby ensuring better business performance.”
Modern compressors operate at higher temperatures and run for a longer time, frequently putting tremendous stress on mineral oil that they cannot withstand. It leads to shorter drain intervals and oil thickening, reducing operating efficiency and increasing compressor downtime. Today’s compressors have higher discharge air temperature, reduced oil sump and compressor size and are often multistage-compressors, challenges that only PAO-based full synthetic oil can meet.
Modern compressors are subjected to an elevated level of cyclic stress and are operated for an extended duration, challenges which are well met by Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68.
