Ultrachem Coolants (PAG/Ester)
Coolant 32 and Ultrachem Coolant: These are the original polyglycol (PAG)/diester blends developed to replace Sullube® 32 and I/R Ultracoolant® respectively. In use for over fifteen years, these coolants work very well with an 8000 hour life in good operating conditions. Applications of high humidity, heat, or other adverse conditions may result in shorter life.
Coolant 32 PE, Ultrachem Coolant PE, Ultrachem Coolant PE 68: Developed recently, after the expiration of the patent on Sullube 32 and I/R Ultracoolant, these products utilize a Polyol pentaerythritol(PE) ester with a unique PAG and additive system designed to replicate the original products. The PE oils offer life comparable to the Sullube 32 and IR Ultracoolant and should be used for higher temperature operations or adverse conditions.
Caution: Coolants should not be mixed with other oils, particularly PAO’s and petroleum’s.

PD Blower Oils, Centrifugals and Cleaner
Blowers: Chemlube 630 and 632 are excellent synthetic PAO based lubricants, in two viscosities, used for lubrication of positive displacement blowers. The unique additive system offers protection for bearings and gears while maintaining their effectiveness over a long period of time. Suitable for use in Roots®, Kaeser®, Duroflow®, and Gardner Denver® PD Blowers.
Centrifugal CF32 and CF46 Compressor Oils:Chemlube CF’s are highly effective blends of synthetic base fluids designed to withstand the demands of slow moving bull gears and high speed bearings. CF oils will offer energy savings resulting from reduced friction over traditional petroleum turbine oils, as well as extra protection for long life.
Chemlube CV:Designed for centrifugal air compressors, it is made with a very stable synthetic base oil. A suitable replacement for I/R OCV-0.
Chemlube Plus 10 and Chemlube Plus 68: These two oils were designed to take advantage of superior lubricating properties inherent in Polyol esters, and yet be economical, by combining them with less expensive synthetics. They will not varnish under normal operating conditions and are less likely to varnish under high temperature applications. Unlike PAG fluids,they are more resistant to acidic intake air. You can expect to obtain well over 8,000 hours under normal temperatures.
Silicone Compressor Oil: Platinum BTG(Better Than Gold) is a super premium synthetic silicone compressor fluid designed to replace OEM silicone fluids in rotary screw compressors. This product is specially formulated with silicone base fluid and appropriate additives to perform over an extremely long period of time. It is fortified against rust, corrosion, oxidation and wear.
Ultraclean:Ultraclean is a highly detergent diester specially formulated as a rotary screw cleaner and system flush. It is safe for use up to 500 hours in these applications, and is soluble in petroleum, PAO, PAG and ester-based lubricants and coolants. Ultraclean is most effective when used at full strength. It may be considered biodegradable, but should be disposed of in accordance with all regulations.
UltraGold:For use in centrifugal compressors that require an ISO 32 viscosity. Based on thermally and oxidatively stable Polyol ester/polyalkylene glycol blend. A replacement for I/R Techtrol Gold.
