Worldwide: Launch of a new lubricant for Automotive air conditioning compressors

Total launches Planetelf PAG K 40, high performance lubricant for Automotive air conditioning compressors.

Planetelf PAG K 40 has been designed to meet the requirements of both R134a and HFO-1234yf refrigerant gases present in the automotive air-conditioning industry. Whatever the gas used, Planetelf PAG K 40 offers good miscibility, provides superior protection and reduces wear on compressors.

  • Maintaining an excellent lubricity despite the drop in viscosity caused by the mixing of the refrigerant in the oil
  • Protection of compressor parts and seals against wear.
  • Optimized performances whatever the temperature
  • Thermal and chemical stability established
