Description
Castrol Tribol™ CS 890/100 (previously called Tribol 890 Range) compressor oils (ISO VG 100) are fully synthetic ester based lubricants formulated for long service life and clean deposit-free operation.
Application
- Castrol Tribol CS 890/100 is suitable for all reciprocating, multi-cell, screw and turbo compressors that are operated with air, inert gases or hydrocarbon gases
Advantages
- Excellent thermal and oxidative stability leads to longer operating life and reduce lubricant costs. Can last up to 4 to 8 times longer than mineral based compressor oils depending on operating conditions.
- Natural cleansing action prevents the formation and build-up of varnish, sludge or deposits. This prevents valve wear and sticking, allows more efficient re-compression and provides clean intercoolers. The resulting benefits are less heat generation, reduced fire potential as well as reduced energy input required for constant discharge capacity and overall improved compressor efficiency.
- Low volatility means less oil contamination of plant air, greater demister efficiency, less maintenance of filters and separators and reduced oil consumption.
- Natural oil film strength and lubricity with additional load carrying and antiwear additives providing excellent wear protection and reduced downtime from unscheduled maintenance.

Additional Information
Changeover from petroleum oils to Tribol CS 890 should always be preceded by a very thorough cleanout. Although 890 oils are compatible with petroleum, any residual mineral oil will soon oxidize and contaminate Tribol CS 890, shortening the anticipated service life. Tribol CS 890 oils soften polycarbonate and should not be used with this material. These fluids should not be used where neoprene seals and E.P.D.M. elastomers sealing materials are present anywhere in the air system.
