Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium

MOLYKOTE L-0268

Main features

  • Corrosion-Inhibited Process-Gas Lubrication
  • ISO 68 Compressor-Oil Selection
  • Controlled Oxygen-Service Boundary

Product Description

MOLYKOTE L-0268 Process Gas Oil is an ISO 68 mineral process-gas oil with a corrosion-inhibitor package for compressors and vacuum pumps handling corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride or methyl chloride. Because the oil is not formulated with antioxidants, total oxygen must not exceed 2% of the gas stream. Typical properties of this grade include 68 cSt kinematic viscosity at 40 deg C, 9 cSt at 100 deg C and a viscosity index of 102. Flash point and pour point are test properties rather than continuous operating limits.

Key features

  • Corrosion-inhibited process-gas lubrication: Supports compressors and vacuum pumps handling the specified corrosive gas environments.
  • ISO 68 mineral-oil viscosity: Provides an exact ISO 68 grade with 68 cSt typical kinematic viscosity at 40 deg C.
  • Gas-stream oxygen limit: Requires total oxygen of no more than 2% of the gas stream within the specified process-gas applications.

Applications

Applications include compressors and vacuum pumps handling corrosive gases such as hydrogen chloride or methyl chloride within the specified oxygen limit.

Technical Specifications

General Properties
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
