SL20 Series synthetic lubricants are unique combinations of quality diester base stocks and the latest additive technology. Select Lubricants provides a wide range of lubricant products that cover applications for rotary vane, rotary screw, and all ages and design types of reciprocating compressors. Select Lubricants are especially noted for the following benefits:

Low temperature fluidity
Better thermal conductivity - reduces operating temperature
Reduced friction - approximately 20% lower coefficient of friction
High temperature thermal stability will not disassociate under thermal stress
Greater resistance to mechanical stress will not shear under heavy loads or extreme stress
Reduced metal to metal wear polar properties provided better metal wetting
Better demulsibility characteristics - moisture separates readily, providing better rust and corrosion protection
More energy efficiency

These lubricants are designed for use in the crankcase and as a cylinder lubricant. They are compatible with almost all elastomers used in compressors and pumps, including paint used in crankcases.

Compatibility

The following materials are compatible for use with Select Lubricants: Epoxy Paint, Celcon, Vitron, High Nitrile Rubber (Buna N, NBR-greater than 36% Acrylonitrile), Medium Nitrile Rubber (Buna N, NBR 30-36% Acrylonitrile), Teflon, Oil Resistant Alkyd, and Nylon.
