PC
Series Compressor Oil ISO
46, SAE 20
|
Product Code: PCI |
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are long-life, premium
compressor lubricants based on novel, proprietary technology. They
incorporate the highest quality, thermally-stable PAO synthetics
fortified with premium non-detergent, ashless additives for maximum
protection at high temperatures and pressures. They last up to eight
times longer than petroleum oils, effectively reducing maintenance
and waste oil disposal costs.
Package sizes include:
- Quart Bottle
- 5-Gallon Pail
- 30-Gallon Drum
- 55-Gallon Drum
- 275-Gallon Tote

Improves Compressor
Efficiency
AMSOIL PC Synthetic Compressor Oils have low friction properties and
they resist viscosity increase from oxidation. They help improve
operating efficiency and save money on electrical energy
consumption. |
|
Controls Foam and Reduces
Wear
AMSOIL PC Compressor Oils contain anti-foam additives and, unlike
other compressor oils, they are anti-wear fortified. Good foam
control reduces heat, oxidation and wear. High contact regions are
protected against wear for increased compressor life and efficiency. |
|
Resists Water Contamination
Water from condensation builds up in compressors that can cause
unwanted oil/water emulsions, environmental discharge hazards and
rust. AMSOIL PC Synthetic Compressor Oils are hydrolytically stable.
They resist acid formation, readily separate from water and are
anti-rust fortified. Water can be easily drained off for simplified
environmental discharge and increased oil life. |
|
Resists Heat and Oxidation
AMSOIL PC Series Compressor Oils combine the inherent stability of
premium synthetic base oils with specialized anti-oxidant additives
to resist varnish, carbon and acid formation. They protect
compressors better and last longer in service than petroleum oils,
especially during hot operating conditions. |
|
Safety Advantage
AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oils are ashless, high flash
point formulations with very low carbon forming tendencies that
minimize the incidence of ignition-promoting "hot spots". While PC
Synthetic Compressor Oils can provide improved fire safety, they
cannot be considered non-flammable. |

Product
Applications The
appropriate viscosity of AMSOIL PC Series Synthetic Compressor Oil
is recommended for use in single and multistage rotary screw, vane,
centrifugal and reciprocating compressor crankcase and cylinders,
vacuum pumps and other applications such as gears, bearings,
blowers, pumps and handheld pneumatic tools. In compressor
applications, drain intervals of 8,000 hours or more can be expected
under normal operation. Drain intervals are subject to operating
conditions and maintenance practices. Monitoring by oil analysis is
recommended. For best performance, AMSOIL recommends the compressor
be drained prior to the installation of PC Synthetic Compressor Oil.
If carbon deposits are present on the internal components, it is
recommended they be removed following the compressor manufacturer
recommendations. |
