Description
Castrol Aircol™ CM 46 is a high quality compressor oil based upon highly refined mineral oil, enhanced with additive technology providing excellent thermal and oxidative stability and good load carrying capacity, compared to other products in the same class.
- Pack size: 20 L canister
- Also available in: 208 L drum
Applications
- Formulated without zinc additives (ashless oils), recommended for the lubrication of rotary screw and reciprocating compressors
- ISO 6743-3 Compressor Oils: DAA/DAB (reciprocating & drip-fed rotary); DAG/DAH (oil-flooded rotary screw)
- Meets DIN 51506 VDL for reciprocating compressors with discharge temperatures up to 220 °C
- Designed for service drain intervals up to 4000 hours for oil-flooded/injected rotary screw compressors operating continuously up to 90 °C (above 90 °C: follow OEM standard drain)High FZG load carrying for geared compressor units
Specifications & Approvals
- DIN 51506 VDL
- ISO 6743-3: DAA, DAB, DAG, DAH
Benefits
- Good water separation characteristics minimize emulsions that could block separator elements
- Fully inhibited against corrosion—protection even under humid conditions
- Good thermal stability, low volatility and low carbon formation reduce risk of fire/explosion and support long oil life (up to 4000 h)
- Low deposit forming tendencies extend oil/filter life and reduce maintenance costs
- Excellent coalescing properties mean little oil carryover in the air stream
- High load carrying to meet requirements of geared compressor units
