Product Data

Aircol SR 68
Synthetic turbocharger and rotary compressor oil

Description
Aircol SR 68 is a polyalphaolefin-based synthetic compressor oil, using an advanced additive system to enhance thermal
and oxidation stability and reduce component wear.

Application
Aircol SR 68 is intended for use in Marine turbochargers and rotary compressors where it will provide significant in-service
benefits when compared with other mineral and synthetic based lubricants.

Aircol SR 68 is also particularly suitable for use in oil-flooded rotary screw compressors. It has outstanding oxidation
stability and anti-wear performance. The ester-free formulation eliminates acidic corrosion resulting from hydrolysis.

Aircol SR 68 is not suitable for use in Reciprocating Air Compressors for which Aircol SN is recommended.

Conditions of Use
Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Advantages
Aircol SR 68 provides significant benefits when used as a system oil in separately lubricated turbochargers, where
extended oil change intervals will be possible.

The performance of Aircol SR 68 compressor oil offers the following specific benefits:
Extended service intervals.
Reduced maintenance.
Extended drain periods.
Cleaner operation.
Reduced friction.
