GAO
lubricants have:
• Excellent Oxidation Stability
• Exceptional Thermal Stability
• High Viscosity Index
• High Flash and Auto Ignition Points
• Very Low Volatility
• Extremely High Film Strength
Available in 55 gal., 5 gal. and 1 ga. sizes.
GAO lubricants are offered for the wide range of duty requirements of today's compressors and vacuum pumps. Drawing on over 50 years of rotary pump technology and 100 years of reciprocating compressor experience, GAO lubricants effectively exceed machinery lubrication standards and reduce maintenance expense with extended change intervals and reduced overheating.
Lubricant Choice
GAO compressor and vacuum pump fluids are available in many formulations. Each
requirement for lubrication, cooling, and sealing is based upon the specific
application.
Viscosity requirements, special rust and oxidation inhibitors, anti-foaming agents and anti-wear additives to enhance the performance of the lubricant are the deciding factors in the makeup of each of our products.
Decide the proper viscosity grade by using the following table to convert SAE viscosity rated oils to GAO's ISO classified lubricants.

Air
Compressor & Vacuum Pump Lubricants
Specific
lubricant choices follow for each type compressor.
Rotary
Compressor Lubricants
Designed for the extreme demands of flood lubrication in oil injected compressors.
GAO
S-The 4000 Hour Lubricant
Produced
from a blend of super-refined and dewaxed petroleum base stocks and synthetic
fluids. GAO 46 S is recommended for most applications. In normal rotary
compressor operation of 190-200° F. lubricant life of 4000 hours can
be expected. It is extremely compatible with most plastic, polycarbonate
and elastomeric compounds. In normal service, it separates easily from
condensate and is compatible with similar OEM factory fill oil at substantial
savings.
GAO
P-The 8000 Hour Lubricant
Blended
from PAO (Polyalphaolefin) base stocks and advanced additives, GAO 46 P
is recommended for normal compressor operation of 190-200° F. where
extended change intervals, reduced carryover, reduced disposal costs, seal
compatibility and OEM factory fill compatibility are desired.
GAO
F-The Food Grade Lubricant
Formulated
from the highest quality synthesized hydrocarbon products available and
blended with synthetic base fluids to provide extended lubricant life--up
to 4000 hours in normal compressor operation of 190-200° F. Compatible
with most seal-materials and readily separable, GAO F68 is recommended
for applications requiring USDA H-I approval and complying with FDA2ICFR
178.3570 for lubricants with incidental food contac.
GAO
G-The Polyglycol Replacement Fluid
Formulated
polyclycol/ether blend to replace most OEM PAG (polyalkylene glycol) factory
fill fluids. GAO 32 or 46 G is a proven superior product to resist oxidation
and deposits. A cost saver versus Sullair or Ingersoll Rand products, it
shares the factory fill' resistance to gravimetric separation of condensate.
Reciprocating
Compressor Lubricants
Designed for the high temperature requirements of today's single and double
acting splash and pressure lubricated compressors.
GAO
D
A
blend of diester base stocks and compressor duty additives, GAO 100 and
150 D provide excellent cylinder lubrication, resistance to carbon and
varnish formation in all ages and design types of reciprocating compressors.
In most cases the lubricant is demiscible for oil-condensate separation
and is compatible with most plastics and elastomers. For easy recognition
GAO D is dyed red and in many cases is a compatible, lower cost replacement
for OEM lubricants.
GAO
100 P-Replacement Synthetic
A
blend of PAO (polyalphaolefin) base stocks with compressor duty additives,
GAO 100 P is recommended where cylinder lubrication, carbon, varnish and
sludge resistance is desired as well as a wider compatibility with materials
such as polycarbonate and low nitrile number BUNA products. Also available
in lower ISO viscosity grades for vacuum pump, rotary and centrifugal compressor
applications. This lubricant may be used in gearboxes and crankcases and
easily separates from water and condensate.
Vacuum Pump Lubricants
Designed for the high temperature, low vapor pressure, carbon and varnish deposit-free requirement of vacuum pumps.
GAO100
M-590 Series Rotary Vane Replacement Fluid
A
semi-synthetic blend of highly refined, solvent dewaxed, paffinic mineral
oil base stocks, this ISO 100 viscosity grade lubricant is specifically
designed for the high temperature needs of oil flood lubricated rotaary
vane vacuum pumps such as Busch, Rietschle, Becker and Leybold.
GAO
100 P-Rotary and Reciprocating Vacuum Pump Fluid
A
blend of PAO (polyalphaolefin) base stocks with compressor duty additives,
GAO 100 P is recommended where carbon, varnish, and sludge resistance and
extended life (up to 8 times that of normal mineral based lubricants) is
desired. GAO 100 P has excellent seal compatibility and lower oil carryover
and demister separator fouling rates. Other GAO vacuum pump oils are available
for high vacuum applications and once-through and drip feed pumps.
