Anderol 495 and Anderol 500 are the names of long-life synthetic cornpressor lubricants announced by Lawrence Industries. It is claimed that the lubricants enable the oil change period for reciprocating compressors to be increased to 8000 hours (annually) from about 1000 hours with mineral oils and to 4000 hours for rotary compressors as against 500 hours with mineral oils.
The oxidation resistance and thermal stability of Anderols virtually eliminates carbon deposits and lacquering thus making it possible to extend oil change intervals to these levels.
Anderols are di-ester base long-life synthetic lubricants E distinct from glycols an phosphate esters. Anderol 49 is suitable for use in rotary van and rotary screw compressoi and Anderol 500 in reciprocatir compressors.
Important safety features both Anderol 495 and 50 include higher-than-normal flas points of 495deg F and 515de F respectively. Both have hig auto-ignition points of ov( 765deg F. Moreover, they ha\ low :toxicity in that they conta no aromatics.
