Cetus DE Oils are premium performance, synthetic compressor oil based on diester technology and containing an inhibitor system to give outstanding oxidation resistance and corrosion protection under severe operating conditions.
Cetus DE lubricants are available in ISO viscosity grades 68 and 100.
RECOMMENDED FOR
Rotary air compressors
Reciprocating air compressors
Medium speed marine diesel engine turbochargers.
General industrial applications where non-EP synthetic products with outstanding oxidation properties are required, e.g., hydraulic systems, oil mist lubrication systems, industrial gear cases
Not recommended for use in breathing air compressors.
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Extended oil service life:
Outstanding oxidation stability of the diester base fluid and inhibitor system resists oil breakdown at the elevated temperatures encountered in compressor service, permitting oil drain intervals to be extended beyond those achieved with conventional lubricants
Minimum maintenance and downtime:
Diester base fluid ensures an effective oil film to protect highly loaded parts against wear under high temperature operating conditions, as well as during low temperature start-up. The inhibitor system provides excellent rust and corrosion protection under all conditions.
Trouble-free operation in severe service:
Outstanding thermal and oxidation stability enable the diester lubricant to resist deposit formation in the heat of the compression cycle, even under the most severe service conditions.

SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS
Cetus DE Oils are designed to meet the requirements of modern higher output, more efficient compressors. These newer units are more compact and operate at higher speeds than older compressors. As a result, higher temperatures are experienced. As temperatures increase, deposit formation on valves and air separators can also increase. Operators of these newer compressors using Cetus DE Oils will experience minimal carbon, varnish and sludge deposits on valves and air separators.
Cetus DE Oils are compatible with conventional, non-detergent petroleum oils, although mixing will reduce the thermal and oxidation stability of the synthetic lubricant. However, it may not be compatible with seals, paints, plastics, etc., found in systems designed for petroleum oils. Where doubt exists, the equipment manufacturer should be consulted concerning compatibility with diester-based lubricants.
Diesters have excellent solvency and will aggressively "clean-up" systems deposits that might have formed while mineral oil based lubricants were in use. Therefore, oil filters need to be monitored frequently in the early stages after conversion to this product.
