CETUS VDL 150

Available Pack Size: 200L
SKU Code: 540625DNK

Cetus VDL formulated with VARTECH Technology, are a range of high-performance compressor lubricants, blended with high quality paraffinic base oils and an additive system designed to promote oxidation resistance, corrosion protection and a robust varnish deposit control performance.

They are especially designed for air compressors, especially portable and stationary rotary, vane, screw and piston compressors.

Customer Benefits

Potential maintenance and downtime savings
VARTECH Technology reduces varnish formation to help maintain peak performance, reliability, and productivity throughout the oil’s service life. It helps reduce the build-up of harmful deposits on critical areas such as valves and bearings, hence maintaining compressor performance under severe operating conditions.

Enhanced equipment protection
Effective corrosion inhibition helps protect against rust and corrosion caused by high operating temperatures or moisture entering the system, particularly during shutdown and intermittent operation

Operational Reliability
Exceptional Oxidation and Thermal Stability assists with long service life resisting oil breakdown at high discharge temperatures with Minimal Deposit Formation.

Product features

Cetus VDL delivers stable high temperature oxidation resistance and is designed for reduced deposit formation on rotary screw and piston compressors, It’s advanced formulation provides excellent corrosion protection, foam inhibition, and extreme pressure performance, to ensure reliable performance throughout it’s service life.

Cetus VDL provide demulsibility performance and help minimize entrained air, which could otherwise result in reduced lubricant film thickness and potentially lead to pump cavitation.

Applications

Cetus VDL is recommended for:

  • Single-stage and multi-stage reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, and oil flooded screw compressors
  • Air, compressed natural gas (CNG) and inert gas, single-stage and multi-stage reciprocating compressors
  • Stationary, semi-portable and portable units
  • Bath and circulating systems supplying rolling element bearings of all types, lightly loaded gear sets, vacuum pumps (including rotary vacuum pumps used in the dairy farming industry), machine tools (including computercontrolled units), conveyors, electric motors, and low to moderate pressure hydraulic pumps where anti-wear properties are not required

Not recommended for use in breathing air compressors.
