The series covers complete ISO viscosity grades including VG32, VG46, VG68 and VG100, meeting the lubrication demands of different types of cryogenic compressors.

Different from conventional 4523 alkylbenzene oil and 4524 ester oil, the 4529 series is optimized for extreme cold environments, stably operating in a wide temperature range of-60°C to 150°C. It has excellent miscibility and compatibility with mainstream low-temperature refrigerants such as R23, R404A, R507, and ammonia, perfectly matching reciprocating, rotary, and screw compressors for ultra-low temperature refrigeration systems.

Core Technical Advantages & Product Features

  • Industry-Leading Ultra-Low Temperature Fluidity The customized synthetic formula achieves an ultra-low pour point, effectively avoiding wax precipitation, oil condensation, and pipeline blockage under -60°C extreme cryogenic conditions. It ensures smooth and rapid oil return in evaporators and long-distance refrigeration pipelines, maintaining continuous and efficient heat exchange of ultra-low temperature systems without lubrication failure.

  • Excellent Long-Term Thermal & Oxidative Stability Resists high-temperature oxidation and oil degradation during long-hour continuous compressor operation. It effectively inhibits sludge, carbon residue, and varnish formation on compressor valve plates, cylinder walls and heat exchanger surfaces, greatly extending oil replacement cycles and reducing equipment maintenance costs.

  • Broad Low-Temperature Refrigerant Compatibility Perfectly compatible with special low-temperature refrigerants including R23, R404A, R507 and ammonia (NH3). It maintains stable miscibility in ultra-low temperature loops, prevents oil logging in heat exchange components, and fully preserves the refrigeration efficiency of cryogenic units.

  • Superior Anti-Wear & Extreme-Pressure Protection Formulated with high-efficiency extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives, it forms a dense and durable protective oil film on compressor friction pairs. It effectively reduces mechanical wear and friction loss under variable load and extreme temperature working conditions, extending the service life of core compressor components.

  • Reliable Anti-Corrosion & Seal Adaptability It isolates moisture and acidic substances generated by refrigerant decomposition to prevent metal corrosion and rust inside the system. Meanwhile, it is friendly to various rubber seals and non-metallic parts, avoiding seal swelling, aging and refrigerant leakage risks, ensuring long-term airtight operation of closed refrigeration systems.

  • Stable Viscosity-Temperature Performance The unique molecular structure ensures stable viscosity in ultra-wide temperature changes. It maintains sufficient lubricating thickness at extremely low temperatures and avoids viscosity attenuation at high discharge temperatures, realizing full-cycle stable lubrication protection.

  • Cost-Effective Import Replacement Its comprehensive cryogenic performance reaches international premium refrigeration oil standards. It can fully replace high-priced imported cryogenic lubricants, helping global end users and contractors reduce long-term operational and spare part costs.
