Mobil Vacuoline™ 100 Series

Circulating Oils

The Mobil Vacuoline™ 100 range is a series of extra high quality circulating system oils primarily intended for the lubrication of plain bearings in systems designed for full fluid lubrication, particularly those subjected to heavy water contamination, such as may be used for back-up roll bearings in metal rolling mills. Specifically, they meet the requirements for rolling mill bearings including the Morgan “super demulsibility" specification as defined by Morgan's Advanced Lubricant Specification, Revision 2.5a. The Mobil Vacuoline 100 Series oils are formulated from high quality base stocks and additives to provide outstanding water separation ability, good resistance to thermal degradation and oxidation, and protection against rust and corrosion. The Mobil Vacuoline 100 Series oils are resistant to the formation ofemulsion and sludge. Consequently the oils can contribute to cleaner systems and filters. Also solid contaminants separate readily for easy cleaning by centrifuge, filtration or settling. The Mobil Vacuoline 100 Series possess a high viscosity index and good demulsibility that is retained under conditions of severe water contamination and are recommended for both single and dual tank circulation systems. Mobil Vacuoline 100 Series oils are the choice of rolling mill operators worldwide. They enjoy strong support of key equipment builders including Morgan Construction Company, Worcester, MA, USA.

 

Features and Benefits

The Mobil Vacuoline family of products is well known and highly regarded worldwide based on their outstanding performance and the global technical support which stand behind the brand. The exceptional performance of Mobil Vacuoline 100 Series oils, has made it the choice of rolling mill users around the world.
