MOLYKOTE L-1232
Harmonization Code : 3208.20.90 | Paints and varnishes that are dispersed or dissolved in a non aqueous medium
Main features
- ISO VG 32 Compressor Oil
- PAO Low-Temperature Flow
- Rust and Oxidation Protection
Product Description
MOLYKOTE L-1232 Synthetic Compressor Oil is an ISO VG 32 PAO synthetic oil for compressor lubrication. It has a typical kinematic viscosity of 30.1 cSt at 40 deg C and 5.7 cSt at 100 deg C, with a viscosity index of 144. A rust-and-oxidation additive package supports the compressor-oil function, and the typical pour point is -60 deg C. This lower-viscosity oil is for compressors where the exact L-1232 ISO VG 32 grade is specified.
Key features
- ISO VG 32 Profile: Typical viscosity is 30.1 cSt at 40 deg C for lower-viscosity compressor lubrication.
- PAO Pour Point and Viscosity Index: The typical pour point is -60 deg C, with a viscosity index of 144.
- Rust and Oxidation Protection: The additive package supports compressor-oil service against rust and oxidation.
Applications
Compressors.

General Properties
Specific Gravity
0.835
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.
For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
