MOLYKOTE L-1568
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- Lower-Viscosity Process-Gas Lubrication
- Wide-Range PAO Viscosity Control
- Defined Oxygen-Service Limit
Product Description
MOLYKOTE L-1568 Process Gas Oil is an ISO VG 68 PAO process-gas oil for compressors and vacuum pumps handling corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride or methyl chloride. It has typical kinematic viscosity of 68 cSt at 40 deg C and 10 cSt at 100 deg C, with a viscosity index of 140. The specialized formulation includes a C1 additive package. Because the oil is not formulated with antioxidants, total oxygen should be no more than 2% of the gas stream. This lower-viscosity grade is for the specified process-gas service.
Key features
- ISO VG 68 Process-Gas Profile: Typical viscosity is 68 cSt at 40 deg C for lower-viscosity process-gas lubrication.
- Corrosive-Gas Application: The oil is intended for compressors or vacuum pumps handling hydrogen chloride or methyl chloride.
- Gas-Stream Oxygen Limit: Total oxygen should be no more than 2% of the gas stream.
Applications
Process-gas compressors; highly corrosive or reactive gas service including hydrogen chloride and methyl chloride; vacuum pumps where specified by the manufacturer.
