Mineral refrigerator oil

DESCRIPTION of Castrol icematic 299 refrigerant compressor lubricant 

The Icematic 266 & 299 range of mineral based refrigeration oils is available as two grades of specially selected oils, highly refined to provide chemical and thermal stability.

Icematic 266 and 299 are specifically for use in refrigeration and air conditioning plants using fluorocarbon refrigerants. The exceptional low temperature characteristics of these oils prevents the flocculent precipitation of wax which can otherwise occur in high performance plant using Freon refrigerants.

CARE AND HANDLING

Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.

PACKAGING AND STORAGE

TECHNICAL DATA

In most systems using R22, the critical solution temperature characteristics of these oils are adequate to prevent oil/refrigerant separation problems within the low temperature circuits. Where evaporation temperatures are exceptionally low or in systems not incorporating oil/refrigerant separators, synthetic base refrigerant oils may be preferred.

All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings.

Products should not be stored above 60°C, exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
