Anderol 755 synthetic ISO VG 150 compressor oil for compressors and vacuum pumps, tri-ester based, 20 l canister

Anderol 755 20L is a synthetic ISO VG 150 compressor oil based on tri-esters, designed for long-term lubrication of air and process gas compressors and vacuum pumps. The product ensures stable operation of splash- and piston-lubricated reciprocating compressors, vane compressors and vacuum pumps operating under demanding temperature conditions. It is an excellent choice for industrial installations where reliability, system cleanliness and extended oil drain intervals are essential.

Advantages and unique features

• No metal-containing additives – does not interfere with catalytic processes.
• Helps reduce oil change frequency and service downtime.
• Reduces routine maintenance requirements for compressors.
• Greatly reduces fire and explosion hazard thanks to a high flash point.
• Rapid separation of condensed water, facilitating condensate removal from the system.
• Lower oil consumption compared to conventional mineral oils.
• Eliminates lacquering and deposit formation in the lubrication system.
• Helps reduce energy consumption due to a stable lubricating film.

Properties and applications

• Intended use: cylinder and crankcase lubrication for reciprocating compressors, vane compressors and vacuum pumps operating with air and process gases.
• Process gas applications: suitable for operation with, among others, air, nitrogen, helium, hydrogen, methane, natural gas, propane, carbon monoxide, dry carbon dioxide, butadiene and ethylene, when used in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Wide operating temperature range: nominal operating range from -20 °C to 230 °C allows use in systems exposed to changing ambient conditions.
• Stable viscosity at high temperatures: ISO VG 150 with kinematic viscosity of 150.4 mm²/s at 40 °C and 13.4 mm²/s at 100 °C ensures a durable lubricating film under high loads.
• Good low-temperature fluidity: pour point around -39 °C supports reliable start-up of equipment operating in cold environments.
• High oxidation stability: low total acid number and limited mass loss in evaporation tests contribute to long oil life and system cleanliness.
• Protection against corrosion and deposits: low sulphated ash and Conradson carbon residue levels help keep metallic components in good condition.
• Material compatibility: recommended for seals and coatings made of Viton, high nitrile Buna N, PTFE, epoxy paint, oil-resistant alkyd paint, nylon, Delrin, Celcon and PBT; not recommended with neoprene, SBR rubber, low nitrile Buna N, acrylic paint, lacquer, polystyrene, PVC or ABS.
• Typical application areas: chemical and gas industry, power generation, manufacturing plants and other installations requiring reliable lubrication of compressors and vacuum pumps.
