• Excellent Filterability
  This highly refined straight mineral oil provides outstanding filterability with all commercial filters and works exceptionally well with filters using Fuller’s Earth, extending filter change intervals.
• Reduced Deposit Formation
  Its water-separating properties help prevent sludging in low-temperature conditions where condensation occurs. The low carbon residue formation reduces deposit buildup in suitable applications.
• Inherent Oxidation Stability
  The oil’s natural oxidation stability resists degradation and thickening, ensuring consistent performance.

• Canopus® oils are premium, highly refined paraffinic mineral oils, ideal for use in industrial circulating systems and general-purpose lubrication where straight mineral oils are appropriate.

Potential applications for Canopus® where straight mineral oil is suitable include:

• General-purpose industrial lubrication, especially in “once-through” lubrication systems
• Industrial circulating systems, particularly those with clay filters to remove high contamination levels
• 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 (not recommended for use in breathing air compressors)
• Vacuum pumps
• Heat transfer systems
