Corrosion Additives for Shell Corena De Compressor Oil
Purpose: Determine compatibility of Cortec Corrosion inhibiting additives with Shell Corena DE compressor oil.
Materials: Shell Corena DE compressor oil
M-529
VpCI-326
VpCI-322
Method: Standardized Compatibility Test
Procedure: The following samples were created:

The following procedure was followed:
-
- The samples were mixed and observed
- Compatibility is rated as a homogenous mixture with no gelling, precipitates, adverse reactions, or other deleterious affects
- The sample is listed as ok if considered compatible.
- The samples are cycled, 8 hours at 0° C and 16 hours 50° C, and observed at the different intervals. This is considered one cycle and the test is three cycles in duration.
- The samples were mixed and observed
Results: The following results were found:
