Product DescriptionMobil Gas Compressor Oil is a high-performance
synthetic lubricant based on poly-alkylene glycol, designed for gas compressors handling hydrocarbon and chemical gases. It is particularly effective in marine environments and industrial applications where oil and gas solubility issues affect equipment performance. Compared to conventional
mineral oils, it offers lower gas solubility, better viscosity control, and enhanced protection against wear and foaming.
Features and Benefits
This oil is engineered to minimize issues caused by gas dissolving in lubricants, such as wear, sealing problems, and frequent maintenance. Key benefits include improved viscosity control, reduced component wear, extended oil drain intervals, and compatibility with a wide range of gases, including vinyl chloride and butadiene. It also prevents dimerisation of butadiene and solid deposit formation.
Applications
Mobil Gas Compressor Oil is suitable for lubricating crankcases and bearings in gas-filled environments, including liquefied petroleum gases (propane, butane), liquefied natural gases (methane, ethane), hydrocarbon chemical gases (ethylene, propylene, butylene), and chemical gases (ammonia, vinyl chloride monomer, butadiene).
