CENTUS® VLD

Typical Characteristics

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.

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

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

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 computer controlled 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.
