Cetus VDL 100
Formerly Compressor EP VDL 100

Cetus® VDL formulated with VARTECH™ Technology are a range of high-performance compressor lubricants, blended with high quality paraffinic base oils and an additive system designed to promote oxidation resistance, corrosion protection and a robust varnish deposit control performance. They are especially designed for air compressors, especially portable and stationary rotary, vane, screw and piston compressors.
Cetus VDL delivers stable high temperature oxidation resistance and is designed for reduced deposit formation on rotary screw and piston compressors. Its advanced formulation provides robust corrosion protection, foam inhibition, and extreme pressure performance to ensure reliable performance throughout its service life.
Cetus VDL provides demulsibility performance and helps to minimize entrained air, which could otherwise result in reduced lubricant film thickness and potentially lead to pump cavitation.

Performance Benefits
1. Potential maintenance and downtime savings
VARTECH™ Technology reduces varnish formation to help maintain peak performance, reliability, and productivity throughout the oil’s service life. It helps reduce the build-up of harmful deposits on critical areas such as valves and bearings, hence maintaining compressor performance under severe operating conditions.
2. Enhanced equipment protection
Effective corrosion inhibition helps protect against rust and corrosion caused by high operating temperatures or moisture entering the system, particularly during shutdown and intermittent operation.
3. Operational reliability
Exceptional Oxidation and Thermal Stability assists with long service life resisting oil breakdown at high discharge temperatures with Minimal Deposit Formation.
