Synthetic lubricants

High performance synthetic oils designed to provide maximum protection for marine machinery operating under severe conditions.

How do synthetics give better performance?

Unlike mineral oils, synthetic oils are prepared by chemical processes that enable each synthetic lubricant to be designed with specific properties. This careful preparation means the resultant oil is chemically pure and can be used over a wide range of difficult applications, particularly at extremes of temperature and where low deposits are an essential requirement. High viscosity index, resistance to oxidation and reduced gas solubility are all properties that can be designed in to the finished synthetic lubricant to enable it to perform to exact, more severe operating requirements, with enhanced reliability.

Can they reduce running costs?

The improved performance and enhanced reliability of ENERSYN synthetics means less frequent oil changes and consequently reduced downtime, less maintenance and parts replacement. All resulting in significant operating cost savings for the operator.

Where can they be used?

ENERSYN synthetic oils are designed to meet the higher performance needs of critical pieces of machinery which operate at extremes of temperature. Enersyn synthetic oils can be cost effective in the following applications:
  • air compressors
  • refrigeration compressors
  • turbochargers
  • gas compressors
  • centrifuge gearboxes
