  • Excellent filterability
    This highly refined straight mineral oil offers excellent filterability with all commercial filters, and performs exceptionally well with filters using Fuller’s Earth, maximizing filter change intervals.
  • Reduced deposit forming tendencies
    Water separating characteristics help to prevent sludging in low operating
    temperature conditions where condensation is a problem. Low carbon residue forming tendencies assist towards reducing deposit formation in valid applications.
  • Inherent oxidation stability
    Natural oxidation stability resists oil degradation and oil thickening.
  • Canopus® oils are highly refined paraffinic mineral oil suitable for industrial circulating systems and general purpose lubrication where straight mineral oils are acceptable.

Potential applications for Canopus® where it is acceptable to use a straight mineral oil include:

  • General purpose industrial lubrication, particularly in “once-through” lubrication systems.
  • Industrial circulating systems, particularly those incorporating clay filters to remove high levels of contamination.
  • Light duty gear cases.
  • Plain and rolling element bearings.
  • Engine air cleaners.
  • Machine tools.
  • Process or extender oils in the rubber and plastics industries.
  • Air compressors, as appropriate (not recommended for use in breathing air compressors.
  • Vacuum pumps.
  • Heat transfer systems.
