Syncon® R&O Oil

Syncon R&O Oil is designed for use in a wide variety of industrial applications. It is available in nine viscosity grades: ISO 32, 46, 68, 100, 150, 220, 320, 460 and 680. The lighter viscosity grades (ISO 32,46,68 and 100) are recommended for use in rotary air compressors, circulating pumps, vacuum pumps and electric motor bearings operating under severe-service conditions or at extreme temperatures. The heavier viscosity grades (ISO 150, 220, 320, 460 and 680) are recommended for use in lightly loaded gearboxes that do not require an extreme-pressure gear oil. Syncon R&O Oil is formulated with synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO) base fluids and select additives to provide excellent protection against rust, corrosion and deposit formation

Applications:

•Rotary air compressors where the manufacturer specifies a PAO-based lubricant
•Plain and rolling element bearings operating at very high or very low temperatures
•Lightly to moderately loaded enclosed industrial gearboxes that do not require an extreme-pressure gear lubricant
•Industrial worm gear drives with bronze-on-steel gears
•Circulating systems of paper machine dryer sections and calendar stacks
•Lubrication of upper cylinders of natural gas and process gas compressors
•Industrial equipment operating over a wide temperature range where inhibited mineral oil is recommended

Note: For information on compatibility with seals. paints and plastics, please contact Oil and Energy.

Features/Benefits:

•Outstanding resistance to thermal breakdown at high temperatures
•Outstanding oxidation resistance to minimize sludge and varnish formation
•Protects against wear, rust and corrosion
•Good water-separating properties and foam resistance
•Excellent low-temperature fluidity
•Low carbon-forming tendencies for use in rotary air compressors
•Extended service intervals compared to conventional mineral oil-based lubricants
•Compatible with mineral oil-based lubricants

For optimum performance, the mineral oil lubricant should be drained before using Syncon R&O Oil. Mixing the two products can reduce the effectiveness and performance advantages normally gained by using Syncon R&O Oil.
