Why use DECON™?
DECON™ is the gamechanger for our industry. With just 3-5% added to your machinery lubrication sump, it can clean the internals from varnish buildup removing this from your system. Traditionally, flushes were performed, which included the use of harsh chemicals and manual labour. This impacted significantly on the production time for facilities. With DECON, there is no need to shut down your equipment. It can be cleaned by simply adding it to your system.
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™ will protect the oil from forming varnish producing long term deposit control performance.

What are the benefits of using DECON?
- 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
- Rapid reduction of the oil’s varnish potential as measured by MPC, UC and Particle Counts
Where can DECON be used?
DECON is suited for hydraulic presses, plastic injection moulding, mobile hydraulic equipment, compressors, gearboxes (below a particular viscosity) and even paper machine systems.
