 ENGINEERED TO PERFORM,
DESIGNED TO PROTECT
Effective lubrication is vital to numerous parts of the
compression process. To protect your investment, only high-
quality, genuine lubricants offer the reliability and efficiency
you need. Both the ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR
engineered lubricants have passed rigorous testing and meet
your needs for any compressor set-up, in any operating
conditions.
Approved for use on our complete compressor range, they
allow you to reduce maintenance costs, extend your
compressor’s lifetime, and maximize its efficiency.
The end result is increased profitability.
SCREWGUARD ROTAIR & ALTAIR: LUBRICANTS YOU CAN TRUST
1T HE ASSURANCE YOU NEED
ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR are the only lubricants that
are approved and tested to meet the specific quality
requirements of your compressor element.
Our lubricants have been thoroughly tested to allow you to
obtain the highest level of protection, extending the
compressor components’ lifetime and keeping your cost of
ownership to an absolute minimum. The use of our lubricants
ensures reliable operation and will not limit any warranty on
your investment.
2A FIRM GRIP ON COSTS
Clean internal elements and long-lasting components provide
increased efficiency and lower the cost of operation. Our
lubricants keep your compressor’s internal elements clean, by
avoiding the formation of deposits and controlling external
contaminations. In addition, they reduce oil carry-over and
prevent the filters from getting clogged, which extends the
lifetime of your oil separator, oil filter and compressed air
filters.
3A NTI-CORROSION CAPABILITIES
To prevent corrosion, our lubricants form a chemical bound
with metal surfaces, which not only eliminates the risk of
rusting – even during compressor standstill – but also enables
the compressor to resist water contamination.

The ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR bases have been
enriched with carefully selected additives to meet our strict
test criteria and to match our tested components.
RISKS YOU CAN AVOID
The use of poorly performing lubricants can cause irreversible damage to your equipment and
substantially increase maintenance and repair costs.
The consequences of poorly performing lubricants can be:

elements.
5R ELIABLE PROTECTION
We don’t compromise on quality. ScrewGuard ROTAIR and
ALTAIR act as structural materials and protect surfaces.
They ensure efficient lubrication and correct viscosity across
the whole operating range of temperatures and humidity.
Even after long standstill periods of the compressor, the
lubricants allow for a smooth start. Their anti-foam
characteristics eliminate the risk of cavitation.
The ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR lubricants are fully
compatible with our complete range of compressors.
