Nuvair 455 oil
Nuvair™ 455 is an ISO 100 USDA H1 premium quality oil designed for use in high pressure and low pressure breathing air systems for the diving industry. The unique additive system, never before used in this application, is best possible for preventing wear and carbon residue buildup.

Nuvair™ 455 is suitable for use in reciprocating compressors operating on up to 40% oxygen enriched air. However, as the oxygen content increases, the oil life will decrease.The food grade synthetic has superior anti-oxidizing properties.
