Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226
Mobil industrial , Chile
Product Description
The Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226 is a full synthetic, superior performance lubricant, specifically designed for use in refrigeration compressors and heat pumps. Formulated from wax-free, synthesised hydrocarbon polyalphaolefin (PAO) fluids, which have outstanding resistance to thermal/oxidative degradation. With their naturally high shear stable viscosity indexes and low temperature fluidity, is able to perform in severe service conditions that are beyond the capabilities of many conventional mineral oils. Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226 solubility and miscibility with commonly used refrigerants is low, resulting in higher film thickness in the presence of refrigerants under pressure. This can help to reduce shaft seal leakage. Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226 stability and low volatility characteristics reduces the "light end stripping" which can occur with conventional mineral oils.
Features and Benefits
The Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC brand of lubricants are recognized and appreciated for their innovation and outstanding performance. Our work with equipment builders has helped confirm the results from our own laboratory tests showing the exceptional performance of the Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 200 Series lubricants. Not least among the benefits shown in work with OEMs is the superb low temperature capability providing excellent fluidity at low temperatures, as well as the resistance to viscosity loss due to refrigerant absorption under pressure, along with providing excellent bearing film thickness and shaft sealing properties.

Applications
Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226 is recommended for the lubrication of refrigeration compressors operating at very high temperatures, and for systems with very low evaporator temperatures. It is suitable for compressor systems using refrigerants such as ammonia and carbon dioxide. Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226 is compatible with most common refrigerants, except sulphur dioxide, and have been particularly successful in systems using ammonia as the refrigerant. Mobil Gargoyle Arctic SHC 226 is fully miscible with most conventional mineral refrigeration oils. Any mixture with mineral oils may detract from the outstanding performance properties of the Mobil synthetic product.
