Valvoline Cummins Private Limited, one of the leading global lubricant manufacturers with 150 years of innovating ground-breaking lubricant technologies, has continued its rich legacy of introducing innovative products for its customers. Realising the needs of the industrial sector and recognising the challenges that arise from the continued operation of air compressors and air-compressor-based machines, Valvoline has launched PAO-based, full synthetic compressor oil, Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68, for air compressors.

Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68 is highly recommended for RIG applications where compressors perform deep drilling for extended periods in dusty environments and are prone to significant wear and tear. The innovative product is formulated with ashless zinc-free additives that extend the drain interval up to 8,000 hours in stationary electric-powered compressors and meets the stringent standards of ISO 6743-3A-DAB and DAJ and DIN 51506 VDL.

Speaking about the launch, a spokesperson of Valvoline Cummins Private Limited, said, “With changing times and technology, it is important that supporting products also be upgraded.” Being cognisant of this, we have launched Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68, which is superior to mineral oils and offers unbeatable performance even in the harshest of operating conditions. “It helps keep costs under control and minimise factory operation interruptions, thereby ensuring better business performance.”

Air compressor-based equipment comes in various configurations and is a common tool used across industries, including construction and mining. This versatile equipment can be used to operate multiple pneumatic types of equipment, such as rock drilling, riveters, forging presses, air brakes, hammers, hoists, etcetera. Modern compressors are subjected to an elevated level of cyclic stress and are operated for an extended duration, challenges that are well met by Valcomp Compressor Oil Synth 68.
