FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Gloria Comstock                    (317) 941-2108

D-A Lubricant Company, Indianapolis, IN—D-A Lubricant Company, Inc. announces another addition to our growing line of synthetic lubricants: Synthetic Compressor Oil 32. This ISO 32 lubricant is a premium synthetic fluid designed to satisfy the lubrication requirements of oil flooded rotary vane and screw type compressors.

D-A Synthetic Compressor Fluid 32 is formulated from premium quality PAO synthetic hydrocarbon and ester base stocks combined with the latest developments in additive technology. This combination makes D-A Synthetic Compressor Fluid 32 superior in oxidation and thermal degradation resistance – providing the potential for extended drain intervals, fewer air filter changes and less oil carryover. Extended drain intervals can mean reduced maintenance costs.

The special detergent/dispersant additive system in D-A Synthetic Compressor Fluid 32 limits formation of sludge, carbon and varnish deposits that interfere with efficient compressor operation. The oxidation and thermal stability of D-A Synthetic Compressor Fluid 32 provide lower oil vapor pressure, and less lubricant vaporization. This improves operational safety and results in less oil carried downstream and less oil consumption. Less oil downstream means fewer air filter changes and less oil that must be removed by oil/air separators.

D-A Lubricant Company, Inc. offers a complete line of high performance lubricants, used oil analysis and equipment maintenance consultation services.
