Frequently asked questions about SOLEST 170

What should be checked when changing from mineral oil to SOLEST 170?

POE oils are strongly hygroscopic: keep cans sealed, charge quickly and evacuate the system before charging. When retrofitting from mineral oil to POE/HFC, drain and replace the oil several times until the residual mineral oil is below the compressor OEM's limit (typically a few percent, per OEM literature); do not use POE in ammonia systems. A Hop Tien engineer provides the procedure for each machine.

How much does SOLEST 170 cost?

Price depends on pack size (18.9 L pail) 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 SOLEST 170 in Vietnam?

Hop Tien is the authorized distributor of Lubrizol Fluid Engineering (SOLEST 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 SOLEST 170?

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 SOLEST 170 be trialled on part of the system?

An HFC refrigeration system is a closed loop and cannot be trialled in part; the safe approach is to change over one stand-alone compressor following the full procedure (drain, evacuate, charge quickly, measure water in oil) and monitor oil pressure, temperature and moisture for three months before rolling out. A Hop Tien engineer writes the procedure for each machine.
