Molub-Alloy 887 Detergent Oil was developed for use in non-flooded sliding 

vane rotary compressors but is also effectively used in circulating systems such 

as for paper machine dryer sections. 

Molub-Alloy 887 Detergent Oil is processed from specially selected naphthenic 

base oils of low carbon content and high flash point, combining specialized 

refining and manufacturing processes which effectively retard the formation of 

varnish and hard carbon deposits. These same properties will also retard 

formation of sludge in intercoolers and aftercoolers. 

metallic solids of suitable grade are treated to increase their natural positive 

affinity to metal surfaces and are completely dispersed to assure effectiveness 

during the lubricant's full working life. 

Rust and oxidation inhibiting characteristics are maximized to afford effective rust 

protection and long life of the oil. 

Foaming is controlled by the use of special compounds and inhibitors 

Applications 

Molub-Alloy 887 Detergent Oil was developed for use in non-flooded sliding 

vane rotary compressors where problems from deposits have been experienced. 

It also provides outstanding service as a crankcase and cylinder lubricant in 

reciprocating compressors. 

Application methods of Molub-Alloy 887 Detergent Oil are by typical force feed 

lubricators as provided by the manufacturer for cylinder and bearing lubrication. 

Where compressed air discharge temperatures are below 163oC, Molub-Alloy 

887-40 is recommended.
