- Rust and Oxidation Protection
Product Description
MOLYKOTE L-1246 Synthetic Compressor Oil is an ISO VG 46 PAO synthetic compressor oil with a typical kinematic viscosity of 44.2 cSt at 40 deg C and 7.7 cSt at 100 deg C. Its viscosity index is 138, and its typical pour point is -57 deg C. The formulation includes rust-and-oxidation additives for compressor lubrication. The L-1246 grade is an option for compressor applications where an ISO VG 46 PAO oil is specified.
Key features
- ISO VG 46 Profile: Typical viscosity is 44.2 cSt at 40 deg C for compressor lubrication.
- PAO Pour Point and Viscosity Index: The typical pour point is -57 deg C, with a viscosity index of 138.
- Rust and Oxidation Protection: The additive package supports compressor-oil service against rust and oxidation.
Applications
Compressors.

General Properties
Specific Gravity
0.838
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.
