SF-590
SYNTHETIC REFRIGERATION COMPRESSOR LUBRICANT
(COMPATIBLE WITH HCFC (R22) & HFC 134A, R-134a, R-407C, R-410A, R-404A, R-507, R744)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
SF-590 are fully synthetic lubricants developed specifically for Refrigeration compressors using HCFC (R22) &
HFC 134A, R-134a etc. as Refrigerant. They are specially formulated Polyol Esters lubricants for severe service
conditions that are beyond the capacities of conventional mineral oils, they improve the performance and
efficiency of standard refrigeration systems compared to conventional oils. Polyol Ester base lubricants have
miscibility with refrigerants such as HCFC (R22) & HFC 134A, R-134a etc, similar to that of mineral oils with
CFC’s.
RECOMMENDED USAGE:
SF-590 lubricant is designed for refrigeration systems with very high reciprocating compressor temperatures.
They are also suitable for very low evaporator temperatures and for screw compressor system using
refrigerants such as HCFC (R22) & HFC 134A, R-134a etc.
ADVANTAGES:
o Improved wear protection at high temperatures
o No deposit formulation in low temperature systems
o Fewer discharge valve deposit
o Improved Compressor efficiency
