For high-performance, long-lasting lubrication and cooling for your air compressor, you need PAO (Polyalphaolefin) replacement fluid.
PAO fluid is a fully synthetic base oil designed to withstand extreme operating conditions, resist thermal breakdown, and protect critical internal parts.
The benefits are many:
Heat Dissipation: Compressors generate immense heat. PAO fluids effectively absorb and transfer this heat away from the compression chamber (airend) to keep the system running at safe temperatures.
Extended Service Life: Compared to standard mineral oils, PAO fluids have exceptional oxidation stability. This allows for significantly longer intervals between oil changes—often up to 8,000 hours of runtime.
Wear and Tear Reduction: It maintains a strong lubricating film between moving parts (like rotors in rotary screw compressors) to prevent metal-to-metal contact, scoring, and premature wear.
Internal Cleaning: PAO formulations strongly resist forming sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits, keeping the inside of your compressor clean and operating efficiently.Moisture Resistance: PAO fluids are non-hygroscopic (they do not absorb moisture from the air), making them easier to store and preventing the formation of corrosive acids.
Sealing: It creates an effective seal between moving and stationary parts (such as the rotors and the housing in a rotary screw compressor), ensuring maximum air compression efficiency.
