Why use Mobil™ Solvancer®?
Mobil™ Solvancer® is an oil-soluble cleaner blended from Group V base stock, and is compatible with most lubricants formulated with API Group I – Group IV base stocks. A concentration of 3-5% of Mobil Solvancer in the system oil is typically recommended. It can be added to in-service oil without adverse impact to performance, unlike water based chemical cleaners or some aggressive oil soluble cleaners.
Improve reliability and reduce cost of operation
- Quickly address the problems associated with varnish, such as escalating bearing temperature, filter fouling, valve sticking, oil line plugging and more.
Reach extended overhaul-to-overhaul goals
- Mobil Solvancer helps with oil life extension, offering protection of more than one year, mitigating the need for more aggressive, short-term options.
Industry-leading performance
- Designed for gas or steam turbines, compressors and hydraulic systems, and it does not require systems to be taken offline when used to eliminate minor deposits or in support of oil life extensions (as determined by oil analysis sampling and sampling results).
Compatible with most in-service oils
- Gentle on systems and compatible with a wide range of oils, including all lubricants and hydraulic oils formulated with API group I to IV base stocks.
Details & Specifications
How does it work?
Mobil Solvancer is a solubilizing agent that quickly dissolves deposits and varnish to help maintain cleanliness of turbine bearings, seals and hydraulic systems. When cooled, Mobil Solvancer maintains residual deposits keeping them in solution to avoid re-adhesion, transfer of deposits, filter plugging and oil line flow blockage events. It can be used with seals, paints and other coatings commonly used in industrial equipment.

How to use Mobil Solvancer
Use of Mobil Solvancer typically does not require a secondary displacement flush. It is recommended for use during
- oil conversions;
- to alleviate operational issues due to varnish, such as elevated bearing temperatures or sticking valves; or
- to support oil life extension.
What are the benefits of using Mobil Solvancer?
- Enables conversions, helps with elevated bearing temperature troubleshooting and supports oil life extension
- Exceptional ability to remove varnish, carbon and sludge from circulating lubrication systems, bearings, hydraulic systems, etc.
- Works quickly to dissolve varnish from internal system components; resists re-adhesion when cooled
- Benign towards in-service oils, seals, paints and coatings commonly used in systems
- Does not adversely impact lubricant performance including oxidation stability, anti-wear, gear loading, demulsibility, foam and air release
- System flushing not required after use; safe for extended use
- Mobil Solvancer does not adversely impact testing on OEM and/or Industry specifications/approvals
Where can Mobil Solvancer be used?
- Turbines (excluding aero derivatives)
- Compressors
- Hydraulic systems
- Gear boxes
- Paper Machines
- Heat Transfer
