Mobil SHC™ Rarus Series oils are superior performance air compressor oils developed primarily for the lubrication of heavy-duty rotary screw and vane air compressors. They are particularly suitable for heavy applications subject to high compression outlet temperatures where products with synthetic base oils do not meet expectations, or for heavy-duty conditions where longer oil change intervals are required.
• Exceptional thermal/oxidation stability helping to deliver up to three times longer drain intervals and reduce maintenance downtime compared to leading synthetic compressor oil
• Excellent varnish and deposit control, which helps ensure cleanliness and longer compressor oil life • High-performance synthetic base oils with a high viscosity index enable operation in a wide temperature range and effective lubrication at high temperatures.
• The ability to carry heavy loads protects and extends the life of equipment, helping to minimize unplanned downtime and extending service life.
• Exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, very good anti-wear, water separation, foam control and air separation and multi-metal compatibility
• Excellent water separation helps ensure less carry-over to secondary equipment, less sludge formation in oil pans and discharge lines, less clogging of coalescer elements and coolers, and lower potential for emulsion formation
• Mobil SHC Rarus Series oils were developed primarily for rotary screw and vane air compressors. It is most effective in screw compressors with oil injection cooling, compressors with a history of excessive oil degradation, poor valve performance or deposit formation.
• Compressors operating under severe conditions are particularly effective for continuous high-temperature operation with outlet temperatures up to 200 ºC
• Compressor systems with critical gears and bearings
• Not suitable for air compressors in air intake applications
• They are compatible with all metals and mineral oil-based oils used in compressor manufacturing; However, mixing with other oils may reduce its overall performance.
