When should I use Apiezon AP303 oil?

AP303 is used in turbomolecular pumps with conventional bearings which require a high grade lubricant with low vapour pressure. High-speed bearings such as these, with a low bearing load, require oil with a low viscosity.

AP303’s polyol ester formulation provides excellent lubricity along with good resistance to ageing, which provides a long service life. It is advised to degass the turbo oil before use to shorten pumping time and prevent foaming.
