MAIN APPLICATION AREARENOLIN UNISYN OL products are recommended for use in flooded or oil injection screw-type air compressors (ISO VG 32,46, 68) and for piston and rotary vane compressors (ISO VG 100, 150) Used if mineral oil-based products are found todisplay insufficient thermal stability (resistance to ageing) or poor viscosity-temperature behaviours.

Turbine OilsIncreasing efficiency and performance of gas turbines is placing greater demands on the performance of lubricants used inthese applications.

Significantly lower oil volumes for higher performance turbines; along with the use of oil circuits in combined cycle gasturbines require long life turbine oils which display outstanding thermal oxidation stability and excellent water and airrelease properties.

FUCHS developed the RENOLIN ETERNA range to meet the demands of such machinery as well as highly stressed gearboxes.


Lubricants for the Offshore Oil & Gas IndustryCompressor OilsLubrication has a significant influence on the operational efficiency of all compressors. Modern compressors are notonly smaller, but offer higher performance, therefore placing greater demands on the technical characteristics of thelubricating oil. To achieve maximum efficiency and lowest operating costs, reduced service times and increasedmaintenance intervals are demanded by users, meaning that the oil works harder for longer.

FUCHS is at the forefront of compressor oil technology, working with OEM’s to provide innovative solutions andmarket leading technology.

DESCRIPTIONRENOLIN GC 460 UCL contains synthetic fluid for the lubrication of cylindersand packing glands in gas compressors. It forms a tenacious film on surfacesand is extremely shear stable. RENOLIN GC 460 UCL protects against wear inhigh pressure compressors and is impermeable to water vapour andhydrocarbon gases. RENOLIN GC 460 UCL protects against corrosion in thecompressor and maintains its viscosity to reduce the oil carry-over oftenexperienced with other oils. RENOLIN GC 460 UCL has been formulated tooffer a high degree of lubrication even where gases are ‘wet’, thus affordingexcellent anti-wear properties for cylinders and piston rings. Its low carbonforming properties also provide cleaner operation at high temperatures, thuspreventing carbon build-up on valves, piston rings and downstream pipes andequipment.

MAIN APPLICATION AREARENOLIN GC 460 UCL is recommended for use in reciprocating compressors working with gases such as:-natural gas, methane, hydrogen ethane, propane helium, nitrogen butane, ethylene, carbon dioxide, propylene LPG, etc. RENOLIN GC 460 UCLis commonly used in gas reinjection compressors.

DESCRIPTIONRENOLIN HC 100 is a specially formulated polyalkylene glycol product for usein compressors handling hydrocarbon gases. The ability to withstanddilution by hydrocarbon and other compressed gases is particularlyadvantageous in flooded screw compressors. Other advantages includestability, low ash content, high viscosity index, shear stability, low solubilitywith many hydrocarbons and excellent lubricity. RENOLIN HC 100 is insolublein water at temperatures above 70ºC. The decomposition products of RENOLINHC 100 do not form carbon build-up on valves and elbows, thus reducing therisks of explosion.

MAIN APPLICATION AREAFor use in hydrocarbon gas compressors.
