FeaturesChevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM is a PAO based, synthetic, food grade, compressor oil.
Although Chevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM offers a reduced risk of fires and explosions, it is not a fire-resistant fluid.
Applications
Chevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM is recommended for both rotary and reciprocating air compressors. It is particularly useful in applications where incidental food contact may occur with oil in the discharge air.
Chevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM may also be used where an R&O or mild antiwear hydraulic oil with high temperature stability and excellent low temperature fluidity performances are required.
Chevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM is fully compatible in ammonia refrigerant systems as well as systems containing R 12 refrigerant. Chevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM is not compatible with HFC-134A type refrigerant.
Chevron Synthetic Compressor Oil FM is
similar to mineral oil in its compatibility with paints, seals, gaskets and hoses. Some examples of commonly used materials are1: Celcon®, Delrin®, epoxy paint, high nitrile Buna N, nylon, oil-resistant alkyd, PBT, Teflon®, and Viton®.
