January 2014: Ingersoll Rand, a global leader in air compressors, professional tools and material handling equipment, recently released Ultra EL, a high-performance lubricant incorporating the latest performance-additive technologies. It will provide various performance benefits when compared to Ultra Coolant and other fluids available in the marketplace today.

Ingersoll Rand Ultra EL is a high-performance compressor coolant based on a blend of PAG and POE base stocks and incorporates the latest performance additive technology.

Highlights:

• Longevity and service life of 16000 hours
• Superior wear protection
• Robust corrosion inhibition
• Improved performance in the presence of air and water
• Advanced lubricant solution
• Ultra EL is available for use in all rotary screw compressors
• Available in 1 litre pail, 5 litre pail, 15 litre pail, 208 litre drum, and
• Ultra EL is biodegradable according to OECD-301B test methods.

The new generation of coolant technology for rotary screw air compressors is developed extensively over a period of three years during which every possible aspect was subjected to rigorous laboratory analysis, controlled compressor endurance tests, and field trials. The main goal of the development work was to produce a product that would last up to 16,000 hours in a rotary screw air compressor, twice the expected life of similar products available in the marketplace today.
