Cetus PAO are ultra high performance synthetic compressor fluids based on a combination of polyalphaolefins with advanced additive technology.
Cetus PAO fluids are recommended for use in rotary screw compressors, single and multistage reciprocating units and single and multistage centrifugal compressors. Cetus PAO 68 also is suitable for the lubrication of turbochargers in marine diesel engines.
Product Highlights
- Robust oxidation stability
- Ultra high performance wear protection
- Low temperature applications

- Helps protect against oil leaks
- Extended drain potential
Customer Benefits
- Robust oxidation stability promotes high temperature performance and protection
- Ultra high performance wear protection contributes to increased productivity and reduced equipment downtime
- Low pour point allows use in low temperature climates
- Good air release properties aid performance in oil flooded screw compressor applications
- Seal swell agents help protect against oil leaks
- Extended drain potential assists in downtime reduction
Applications
- Cetus PAO is formulated to lubricate different air compressors, especially portable and stationary rotary and screw compressors as well as single-stage, two stage, and multistage reciprocating compressors.
- While specific OEM recommendations vary, the ISO 32, 46 and 68 grades are most commonly used for rotary air compressors. While higher viscosity grades are preferred for reciprocating air compressors.
- Since reciprocating compressors require both a crankcase lubricant and a cylinder lubricant, Cetus PAO oils are formulated to meet this dual requirement.
- Cetus PAO 68 is specially developed for the lubrication of turbochargers in marine diesel engines, where two separate lubricating oil systems are in place
Approvals
- Cetus PAO 68 is approved against: ABB VTR 4 turbochargers; fulfils requirements as a low friction lubricant for 5000 hour drain intervals, specially tested synthetic oils for heavily loaded turbochargers
