What is Compressor Oil Market?
Compressor oil is a lubricant used for lubrication and proper working of metal components involved in air/gas compressors. It’s designed to deliver long life service in most compressor applications. Moreover, compressor oil is employed to formulate lubricants for reciprocating, vane-type and rotary-screw compressors where compressed oil and gas are in direct contact. This needs exceptional gas/oil separation capabilities and oxidation stability, on top of lubricating and anti-wear qualities. Compressor oil is the combination of base oil and additives where base oil is extracted from crude oil in numerous plants. Its performance is primarily dependent on base oil characteristics. Thus, base oil characters must encounter all performance demands, allowing formulators to create distinguished compressor lubricants that improve performance and lessen environmental impact.
