- Design:
- Environmentally Friendly & Biodegradable – Formulated to meet OECD 301B standards for biodegradability, breaking down naturally without harming ecosystems. Free of toxic additives, heavy metals, and harmful chemicals, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
- Superior Lubrication & Wear Protection – Provides a protective film on metal components, reducing friction and wear on bearings, seals, and rotors. Extends compressor life by preventing metal-to-metal contact and component degradation.
- High Thermal Stability & Oxidation Resistance –Prevents oil breakdown at high temperatures, reducing sludge and varnish formation. Ensures long-lasting lubrication and reduces the frequency of oil changes, lowering maintenance costs
- Low Volatility & Minimal Oil Carryover – Reduces oil consumption and carryover into the air system, keeping filters and separators cleaner for longer. Prevents oil contamination of downstream air tools and pneumatic systems.
- Water Separation & Anti-Foaming Properties – Effectively separates water, preventing moisture-related damage to compressors. Minimizes foam formation, ensuring smooth operation and consistent lubrication.
- Cold-Weather Performance – Maintains proper viscosity even in low temperatures, preventing startup issues in cold climates. Ensures year-round performance in extreme weather conditions.
- Extended Drain Intervals – Outperforms conventional mineral-based oils with longer drain intervals, reducing waste and disposal costs. Ideal for high-hour continuous operation, reducing downtime for maintenance.
- Applications: Vanair Vanguard Green Biodegradable Oil is specifically designed for industries and operations requiring sustainable lubrication solutions without compromising performance.
- Industrial & Mobile Air Compressors – Used in rotary screw and reciprocating air compressors for industrial and mobile applications.Ensures efficient operation in manufacturing plants, food processing, and material handling where leaks and oil disposal need to comply with environmental regulations.
- Construction & Infrastructure Development – Ideal for portable and stationary air compressors used in roadwork, building construction, tunneling, and infrastructure projects. Reduces the risk of soil and groundwater contamination in urban development sites.
- Marine & Offshore Operations – Used in marine compressors where leaks or spills can directly impact aquatic environments. Meets stringent maritime environmental regulations for biodegradability and eco-safety.
- Forestry, Agriculture & Farming – Ensures smooth operation of air compressors used in logging, irrigation, and crop processing. Minimizes the impact of oil leaks on farmland, rivers, and natural ecosystems.
- Oil & Gas, Mining, and Energy Sector – Ideal for compressors used in remote or sensitive ecological environments such as drilling rigs, wind farms, and solar energy installations. Ensures compliance with environmental safety laws in protected or high-risk zones.
- Transportation, Rail, and Fleet Maintenance – Used in compressed air systems for heavy-duty trucks, trains, and fleet maintenance operations. Helps reduce carbon footprint and aligns with green transportation initiatives.
- Materials: Vanair Vanguard Green Biodegradable Oil is formulated using renewable, eco-friendly base stocks and advanced performance additives that enhance lubrication while ensuring biodegradability.
- Biodegradable Base Stock – Made from synthetic esters and natural plant-based oils that degrade naturally in the environment. Offers superior thermal stability and oxidation resistance compared to traditional mineral oils. Provides low toxicity and reduced environmental impact in case of accidental spills.
- Anti-Wear Additives – Contains ZDDP-free (zinc-free) anti-wear additives to prevent metal wear and extend compressor life. Enhances film strength for superior load-carrying capacity.
- Oxidation Inhibitors – Prevents sludge, varnish, and carbon buildup, keeping compressor internals clean. Ensures longer-lasting oil with fewer deposits, reducing maintenance intervals.
- Rust & Corrosion Inhibitors – Protects internal compressor components from rust and corrosion, especially in humid or marine environments. Ensures reliable performance in moisture-prone applications.
- Foam Control Agents – Minimizes foaming to maintain proper lubrication and prevent oil aeration. Ensures smooth compressor operation and prevents oil starvation.
- Water Separation Agents – Helps oil quickly separate from water, preventing emulsification that can damage compressor components. Ensures efficient moisture removal for longer compressor life.
- Seal Conditioners & Compatibility Enhancers – Ensures compatibility with standard compressor seals and gaskets, preventing leaks and degradation. Helps maintain rubber elasticity, reducing seal wear over time.
