Texaco Canopus® 68

Subcategory: Fluid

Close Analogs: CPS Number: 220659; MSDS Number: 8649

Material Notes:
Texaco Canopus oils deliver value through:

• High resistance to forming emulsions due to excellent water separating characteristics.
• Long lubricant life provided by outstanding stability.
• Good lubricant compatibility — Compatible with other mineral-based and polyalphaolefin lubricants.

Texaco Canopus oils are high quality, high viscosity index uncompounded oils with excellent water separating characteristics.

Texaco Canopus oils possess good natural thermal and oxidation stability. Their high viscosity index makes them suitable for use over a wide temperature range. In a circulating oil system, compressor, or lightly loaded gear case, they will maintain a high film strength, protecting metal parts. Lubricant-related deposits will be kept to a minimum due to the excellent stability of these oils. System contaminants such as dirt and moisture can be easily removed from these oils by proper filtration.

Texaco Canopus oils are recommended for use in many circulating oil systems, as cylinder lubricants in double-acting reciprocating compressors, and for the lubrication of both cylinders and running gears of single-acting compressors.

Because of their compatibility, Texaco Canopus oils are good for flushing lubricant systems as well.

Texaco Canopus 100 is also recommended for use as a hot quenching oil for steel.

Texaco Canopus oils can be used for hand oiling. Their high viscosity index makes them suitable for use over a wide temperature range.

Do not use Texaco Canopus 13, 19, or 68 in high pressure systems in the vicinity of flames, sparks and hot surfaces. Use only in well ventilated areas. Keep container closed.

Typical test data are average values only. Minor variations which do not affect product performance are to be expected in normal manufacturing.
