General information
concerning the lubri-
cants used

– Viscosity range of 55 cSt at 104°F.
– Minimum viscosity at 212°F of 8 cSt.
– Maximum viscosity at 32°F of 1,000 cSt.
– Excellent oxidation stability: Meets requirements of Pneurop oxidation test.
– Antifoam – additives.
– Additives to prevent residue formation.
– Compatibility with all used sealing materials like Neoprene, FPM, PTFE,
FKM (Viton) and acrylic and epoxy resin paints.
– Flash point > 446°F.
– Additives for excellent demulsifying properties.
– Additives for corrosion protection of metallic surfaces.
– Excellent oxidation stability: Rotating bomb oxidation Test (ASTM D 2272)
higher than 2,400 minutes.
– Or you use BOGE compressor oil
Syprem S
. The stated maintenance inter-
vals refer to the use of
Syprem S
only.
