Gas compression requires products which do not dilute the compressed gas. Mercury Gastop series provides excellent viscosity stability and therefore warranted lubrication properties.
Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Gas Compressor Lubricants
Gascomp Glyco synthetic lubricants are a combination of premium polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oils and specially engineered additive systems. They are designed for use in compressors, vacuum pumps, and other applications where the unique properties of these fluids are necessary. The use of Gascomp Glyco oils in hydrocarbon gas compression preserves the unique viscosity-temperature relationships of these premium products by resisting thinning out by hydrocarbon dilution. Gascomp Glyco lubricants yield a compressor service life of 8,000 to 10,000 hours under good operating conditions.
