Cetus DE 32
Ultra high performance synthetic compressor lubricant

Cetus® DE oils are used for portable and stationary rotary screw, rotary vane, and reciprocating compressors.
Cetus DE oils are used for portable and stationary rotary screw, rotary vane, and reciprocating compressors. While specific manufacturer recommendations vary, the ISO 32 and ISO 68 grades are most commonly used for rotary compressors, while higher viscosity grades are preferred for reciprocating units.
These oils can be used in compressors with the following gases: process air,benzene, butadiene, carbon dioxide (dry), carbon monoxide, ethylene, furnace (crack) gas, helium, hydrocarbon gases, hydrogen, inert gases, methane, natural gas, nitrogen, propane, sulfur hexafluoride, and synthesis gas.
Cetus DE oils deliver value through:
- Long life — Cetus DE oils have a low sludge-forming tendency and a high solvency for deposits that help to keep compressor parts clean. Their ability to minimize oil consumption, carry over, varnish, sludge, and deposits; as well as maximize deposit-free valve life helps minimize compressor maintenance and energy costs.
- Ignition safety — Cetus DE oils provide a greater margin of safety than conventional petroleum products because their flash points, fire points, and auto ignition temperatures are much higher. They are not, however, true fire resistant fluids.
Always confirm that the product selected is consistent with the original equipment manufacturer’s recommendation for the equipment operating conditions and customer’s maintenance practices
