CPI-4601-46

PAO-based synthetic air compressor oil, CPI's main line for oil-flooded screw, rotary vane and centrifugal compressors. Thermally and oxidatively stable, low volatility, miscible with mineral oil. Reference oil life of 8,000 hours per the CPI Air Compressor brochure at an 82 °C discharge temperature, to be confirmed by oil analysis on each machine. The series covers ISO VG 15, 32, 46, 68, 100 and 150.

Applications

  • Oil-flooded screw air compressors
  • Rotary vane and centrifugal compressors (per the CPI Air Compressor brochure)
  • Liquid ring vacuum pumps
  • Light gas, sweet gas and inert gas compressors (per the CPI Specialty Gas brochure)

Benefits

  • Oxidation stability: long oil life, fewer deposits and less varnish
  • Low volatility: less top-up
  • Corrosion protection: stable operation, fewer stops
  • Miscible with mineral oil: no transition oil needed when changing over from mineral oil in a clean machine

Per the manufacturer's technical literature; actual results depend on each machine's operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions about CPI-4601-46

How does CPI-4601 differ from CPI-4600?

Same CPI PAO base, different additive package and purpose: CPI-4601 is an air compressor oil (also light and inert gases) for oil-flooded screw, vane and centrifugal machines; CPI-4600 (without the F suffix) is now used only for industrial refrigeration compressors on ammonia, propylene and high-temperature inert gas; air compressors use CPI-4601 (and CPI-4600-F in food plants, NSF H1 registered).

What is needed to change over to CPI-4601-46 from the oil in use?

Per the TDS, PAO oils are compatible with mineral oil, so no transition oil is needed when the machine is clean; the old oil must still be drained fully and the oil filter and separator element replaced so that residue and aged oil are not carried into the new fill. Do not top up over PAG or POE oils (not miscible) – those cases require flushing. A Hop Tien engineer confirms the base oil in use before the change.

How much does CPI-4601-46 cost?

Price depends on pack size (18.9 L pail, 208 L drum) and quantity; Hop Tien quotes within 24 working hours with delivery terms (warehouse at Song Than Industrial Park, nationwide delivery). Include the machine and the viscosity grade currently used so an engineer can confirm the right product.

Where can I buy genuine CPI-4601-46 in Vietnam?

Hop Tien is the authorized distributor of Lubrizol Fluid Engineering (CPI brand) in Vietnam: goods are imported officially with a certificate of origin (CO), certificate of quality (CQ), CoA per batch and the Vietnamese supplementary label required by law. How to check origin is explained on the Genuine products page.

Where do I get the TDS and SDS for CPI-4601-46?

Fill in the "Get documents by email" form on this page: the manufacturer's TDS (English) is sent automatically. The SDS, CO, CQ and the batch CoA are sent by an engineer within 24 working hours; the SDS also accompanies every delivery.

Can I trial CPI-4601-46 before switching the whole plant?

Yes. Hop Tien proposes a trial on one machine, logging running hours and temperature, with an oil sample analyzed at 500 hours so the plant decides on data; Hop Tien technicians help drain the old oil, change filters and fill the new oil.
