Chevron expands line of premium Cetus compressor oils

Chevron Products Company, a Chevron U.S.A. Inc. division, announced that it has expanded its line of Cetus(R)-branded compressor oils. Cetus(R) PAO and the rebranded Cetus(R) HiPerSYN(R) (formerly HiPerSYN) have joined Cetus(R) DE to create a family of premium compressor oils formulated for use in a wide range of applications, including portable and stationary rotary screw, rotary vane, and reciprocating compressors.
“We saw the need to create a family of premium compressor oils and evaluated our existing product portfolio to determine the proper path to take,” said Jeff Snyder, industrial brand specialist, Chevron Products Company.
“We have developed our new Cetus PAO product and joined it with the rebranded Cetus HiPerSYN and our original Cetus oil, Cetus DE. This combination of products gives our customers a single family of premium compressor oils that meet their varied needs while helping to extend equipment life and improve operational efficiency.”
Cetus(R) PAO oils are synthetic air compressor lubricants formulated with the highest quality polyalphaolefin (PAO) base fluids. They provide thermal and oxidation stability, high viscosity index, high flash point, low pour point, and hydrolytic stability while protecting against rust, oxidation and foaming.
Cetus(R) PAO oils are designed to meet the requirements of modern higher output, more efficient air compressors. These units are more compact and operate at higher speeds than older compressors, resulting in higher temperatures.
