About Linear Alkylbenzene Oil

Linear Alkylbenzene Oil is a high-quality, superior synthetic alkylbenzene refrigeration oil. It is similar in numerous ways to natural mineral oils and is rendered with superior properties. Valuable in air-conditioning applications and refrigeration, it is a specific formulation of the alkylbenzene that incorporates a special additive package. The oil includes an extreme pressure or EP lubricity additive. It renders controlled foaming in specific operating states. Linear Alkylbenzene Oil is a high-quality, kindred in many ways to natural mineral oils but has superior properties that make it especially valuable in air-conditioning and refrigeration applications.
