Roto-Inject Fluid NDURANCE
Atlas Copco's Roto-Inject Fluid NDURANCE is a premium mineral oil based 4000 hours lubricant,
specially developed for use in single stage oil injected screw compressors running in mild
conditions. Its specific formulation keeps the compressor in excellent condition. Roto-Inject Fluid
NDURANCE can be used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 ˚C (32
˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F). If the compressor is regularly operating in ambient temperatures above 35
°C (95 °F), it is recommended to use Roto Synthetic Fluid ULTRA or Roto Synthetic Fluid XTEND
DUTY.
