FUCHS SILKAIR VG 22 Air Line Oil – Pneumatic Tool Lubricant – 1 Litre

FUCHS SILKAIR VG 22 is a premium-quality ISO VG 22 air line lubricant developed specifically for pneumatic tools, valves and associated compressed-air equipment. Its naturally high viscosity index formulation readily separates from water and is inhibited to minimise thermal degradation and foaming while helping protect components against corrosion and deposit formation.

Key Benefits

• ISO VG 22 Pneumatic Lubricant – Specifically designed for lubrication of pneumatic tools and air-line equipment.
• Rapid Mist Formation – Formulated to produce an effective lubricating mist for downstream pneumatic equipment.
• Readily Separates from Water – Suitable for systems where separated water needs to be drawn off.
• Enhanced Corrosion Protection – Helps protect pneumatic components and associated equipment against corrosion.
• Thermal & Foam Stability – Inhibited to minimise thermal degradation and foaming during service.
• No Added Silicone – Formulated without added silicone.

Designed for Pneumatic Tools & Equipment

SILKAIR VG 22 is designed specifically as an air line lubricant for pneumatic tools. It is also suitable for valves and associated compressed-air equipment where an ISO VG 22 lubricant is specified.

The formulation promotes rapid mist formation so that lubricant can be carried through the air line to downstream pneumatic equipment, helping maintain effective lubrication during operation.

Typical Applications

• Pneumatic tools
• Air tools
• Pneumatic valves
• Air-line lubrication systems
• Workshop compressed-air equipment
• Industrial pneumatic equipment
• Engineering and maintenance applications
• Suitable hydraulic applications where an appropriate VG 22 fluid is specified

Water Separation & Equipment Protection

One of the key characteristics of SILKAIR VG 22 is its ability to readily separate from water. This makes it particularly suitable for pneumatic systems where collected or separated water needs to be drained from the system rather than remaining emulsified with the lubricant.

The oil also incorporates protection against corrosion, thermal degradation, foaming and deposit formation, helping maintain clean and effectively lubricated pneumatic components.

Application & Important Information

Use SILKAIR VG 22 in accordance with the pneumatic tool, air-line system or equipment manufacturer’s lubrication requirements. Always confirm that an ISO VG 22 air line lubricant is appropriate for the equipment before use.

FUCHS states that SILKAIR VG 22 may also be used as a hydraulic medium in certain appropriate applications. Where hydraulic use is intended, always confirm the required lubricant specification with the equipment manufacturer before filling or topping up.

For pneumatic systems operating at sufficiently low discharge temperatures that exhaust freezing is a concern, FUCHS recommends considering its specialist SILKAIR ICE FREE product instead.
