Why use DECON™ AO?
DECON™ AO can help you extend the life of your oil without compromising its properties. Engineered with our patented Solvancer® technology, it is designed to keep deposits from building up in your system while also replenishing your antioxidant levels.
One of the challenges many users face is the depletion of antioxidants due to oxidation. When this occurs, the oil is no longer protected, and deposits can form faster. With only 3-5% treat rate, your oil can be replenished without affecting any of the other properties.
Details & Specifications
How does it work?
Its formulation is based on the patented Solvancer technology which uses Hansen’s solubility principles to increase the solubility of varnish in the system, so it doesn’t stick to the insides and gets dissolved back into the oil. When varnish or deposits are removed, systems usually see a decrease in temperature as varnish would have acted as an insulator in the past. DECON AO will protect the oil from forming varnish producing long term deposit control performance while also replenishing the antioxidants present in the oil thus extending the life of the oil.

What are the benefits of using DECON AO?
- Extends the life of your oil and helps with elevated bearing temperature troubleshooting
- Transforms your oil from a consumable to an asset with the ability to remove varnish, carbon and sludge from circulating lubrication
systems, bearings, hydraulic systems, etc - No-risk guarantee, does not adversely impact lubricant performance including oxidation stability, anti-wear, gear loading,
demulsibility, foam and air release - Works quickly to dissolve varnish from internal system components; resists re-adhesion when cooled
- Reduces carbon emissions through demand reduction and system flushing not required after use; safe for extended use
- Benign towards in-service oils, seals, paints and coatings commonly used in systems
Increases RULER™ test results, Increases RPVOT results - Rapid reduction of the oil’s varnish potential as measured by MPC, UC and Particle Counts
Where can DECON AO be used?
DECON AO is suited for turbines especially in the Power Generation industry or even in Oil & Gas.
