The CPI brand (part of Lubrizol Fluid Engineering) has more than 60 years of experience in compressor lubricants: screw and reciprocating air compressors, gas compressors (hydrocarbon and process gas) and ammonia refrigeration compressors. Ranges widely used in Vietnam: CPI-1009 for ammonia, CPI-1507 (PAG) for hydrocarbon gas, CPI-1522 and CPI-9370 for air compressors.
CPI productsBuy through the right channel: in Hop Tien's experience, CPI lubricants for the oil and gas industry bought from unauthorized traders usually come without the manufacturer's technical support, batch documents or a continuous supply. Read more →
Lubrizol's refrigeration compressor oil range: the RL 32H to RL 220H grades are polyol ester (POE) oils for HFC and HFO refrigerants, approved by many compressor manufacturers and used as factory fill (list in the manufacturer's brochure); RL 4MO is a mineral oil for HCFC and CFC refrigerants. The RL 32H and RL 68H grades are common in cold stores, chillers and industrial air conditioning in Vietnam.
EMKARATE productsPOE oils are strongly hygroscopic: keep containers sealed and use them up once opened. Not for ammonia systems. When retrofitting from mineral oil to POE, several flushes are needed. Ask an engineer before changing →
Counterfeit warning: Lubrizol has issued a poster warning of counterfeit EMKARATE in Vietnam (August 2025) listing eight specific batch numbers; the poster names Hop Tien as the place to buy genuine EMKARATE in Vietnam. Batch numbers and how to check →
