MOLYKOTE L-1232FM

Main features

  • ISO VG 32 Compressor Lubrication
  • PAO Low-Temperature Flow
  • Food-Grade Compressor Oil Identity

Product Description

MOLYKOTE L-1232FM is a high-performance food-grade ISO VG 32 PAO synthetic oil designed for compressor and vacuum-pump lubrication. It utilizes a robust rust-and-oxidation additive package to ensure extended equipment life and stable performance in food processing environments. As part of the current FM (Food Machinery) series, it is specifically formulated to meet the strict requirements of modern food and beverage manufacturing applications.

Key features

  • ISO VG 32 Compressor Oil: Provides optimal viscosity and film thickness for reliable compressor and vacuum-pump operations.
  • Synthetic PAO Performance: Delivers excellent high- and low-temperature stability, featuring a high viscosity index and reliable pour point characteristics.
  • Food-Grade Lubrication: Specifically formulated for safe use in food machinery environments requiring an H1 designated synthetic compressor oil.

Applications

Compressor and vacuum-pump lubrication in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical processing equipment where an ISO VG 32 synthetic food-grade oil is specified.

Technical Specifications

General Properties
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
