Sullair Performance Lubricant
AWF
®
All Weather Fluid
AWF is formulated to handle the challenging conditions faced
by portable rotary screw air compressors. This multiviscosity,
highly refined, petroleum-based fluid combines easy cold-
weather starting and warmup with exceptional lubrication in
hot or severe conditions.

The fluid of choice for demanding operating conditions
Portable air compressors spend most of their working life outside, often in extreme weather. Conventional rotary screw fluids
become thicker as the temperature drops, causing drag on the rotors at startup and making it difficult for engines to generate and
maintain enough power. In high temperatures, humid climates or severe service, conventional fluids may lose viscosity and water
tolerance, reducing service life.
Features and benefits
Long lasting
With extraordinary viscosity stability and oxidation resistance,
AWF outlasts typical fluids. With AWF, Sullair recommends
compressor drain periods up to four times longer than those
of other petroleum fluids. That means fewer change-outs, less
downtime, and lower maintenance costs.
Protects compressor systems
AWF fights oxidation contaminants in intake air that can rust
and corrode internal surfaces. Special additives dissolve or
suspend contaminants before they form harmful deposits.
Additives also neutralize acidic pollutants in the air so that
acids can’t attack metal surfaces.
Excels in water separation
In any work condition, air compressors draw in water vapor that
during the compression cycle condenses into water – often sever-
al gallons in a single shift. With superior tolerance for water, AWF
allows for easy separation, essential to long fluid life.
Protects elastomer components
AWF is chemically compatible with the elastomers in Sullair
compressor O-rings and seals, helping protect them from
breakdown.
Reduces fluid loss
The carefully balanced composition of AWF maximizes air/fluid
separation, limiting carryover so that less fluid is needed for
top-off. Fluid properties are matched with materials and design
configurations in the air/fluid separator.
