Description
Product Description
FUCHS RENAIR 46 is a premium mineral-based air compressor oil specially formulated for rotary screw compressors, reciprocating compressors, rotary vane compressors, industrial air compressors, workshop compressors, manufacturing plants, pneumatic systems, and enclosed heat transfer systems. Manufactured from high-quality solvent-refined mineral base oils with advanced anti-wear and oxidation inhibitor technology, it provides excellent oxidation resistance, outstanding wear protection, low carbon formation, superior corrosion protection, excellent air release, rapid water separation, and extended service life. It is also suitable for enclosed heat transfer systems and cold expansion heat transfer applications.
Features and Benefits
Excellent Oxidation Stability
Resists oxidation and thermal degradation, helping to minimise sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits while extending oil life.
Outstanding Wear Protection
Provides reliable protection for compressor bearings, rotors, pistons, cylinders, and moving components under continuous heavy-duty operation.
Low Carbon Formation
Minimises carbon and coke deposits on valves and discharge components, maintaining compressor efficiency and reducing maintenance requirements.
Excellent Corrosion Protection
Protects internal metal surfaces from rust and corrosion during operation and idle periods.
Excellent Air Release & Low Foaming
Rapidly releases entrained air while controlling foam formation for smooth and efficient compressor operation.
Excellent Water Separation
Good demulsibility allows water contamination to separate quickly, helping protect equipment and maintain lubricant performance.
Long Oil Service Life
Designed for extended service intervals under normal operating conditions when used in accordance with compressor manufacturer recommendations.
