Synthetic Lubricants FOR Refrigeration Industry: About Us Product Range
The SF-300 Series are a family of fully synthetic industrial SF-590 are fully synthetic lubricants developed specifically for SF-580 is a high performance synthetic gas compressor lubricant
lubricants developed specifically for refrigeration compressors. Refrigeration compressors using HFC – 134a as Refrigerant.They based on a poly-alkylene glycol. It is designed for enclosed pattern

Advantages :
SF-300 Series are fully miscible with conventional mineral oils. If - Improved wear protection at high temperatures chloride and butadiene. The lubricant does not promote
inadvertently mixed with mineral oils, there will be some loss in - No deposit formulation in low temperature systems the dimerisation of butadiene or generate solid deposits.
the superior performance properties of the synthetic lubricant. SF-580 therefore obviates the need to change to mineral
- Fewer discharge valve deposit
The lubricant however, can be continued in service until it oil for butadiene compression, thus simplifying the lubricant
