Explore our premium grade fully synthetic diesel engine oils, motor lubricants, heavy duty gear fluids, and special industrial lubrication formulations.
Industrial air compressors operate under demanding conditions characterized by high pressures, elevated temperatures, and continuous mechanical stress. Choosing the correct lubrication fluid is essential to ensure operational durability and system efficiency.
Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd. customizes high-durability lubricating oils engineered for rotary screw, reciprocating, and centrifugal air compressors. By selecting quality synthetic base stocks (PAO, Ester, and high-VI mineral fractions), our products minimize varnish and carbon deposit formation, protecting rotary screw rotors and critical valve plates.
Our specialized compressor formulations maintain stable viscosity profiles across variable operating temperatures. This limits wear during cold starts while ensuring sufficient film strength under continuous operation. Enhanced demulsibility enables clean separation from moisture, preventing emulsion blockages and corrosion within the internal circuitry.
Established in 2009 in Zibo, Shandong, we deliver advanced lubrication solutions to global industrial and automotive sectors.
Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd. integrates research, development, production, and sales. With over 15 years in the lubricant industry, we have built a comprehensive supply chain system.
Alongside our primary brand "Century Longhai," we manage the international strategic partnership line, the British "A Ba" series. Our product range covers diesel and gasoline engine lubricants, industrial gear oils, hydraulic transmission fluids, anti-wear hydraulic oils, engineering machinery lubricants, natural gas engine oils, automotive urea solutions, and specialized refrigeration fluids. Our product quality is backed by insurance coverage from PICC (People's Insurance Company of China).
We operate in compliance with international standards, holding certifications for ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001:2018 (Occupational Health and Safety). Additionally, our products carry official Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission approvals, establishing a reliable foundation for consistent product quality.
Operating from Zibo, Shandong, our facility leverages regional raw materials and automated processes to serve global markets.
Our location in Zibo, Shandong, places us near major refining and petrochemical clusters. This proximity provides reliable access to premium base oils (Group II, Group III) and specialized chemical additives, reducing transport costs and stabilizing production lead times.
Our production facility covers 131 acres with an annual capacity of 200,000 metric tons. The plant is equipped with automated metering and filling systems that maintain filling accuracy within 1‰ to 2‰. This automated configuration increases packaging line speed by 20% to 35% compared to manual processes.
We allocate over 5% of annual revenue to research and development. Partnering with technical universities, our laboratory studies oxidation stability and thermal stress limits to design fluids for demanding operating environments.
Matching oil formulations to specific mechanical designs prevents premature wear and reduces energy consumption.
In rotary screw systems, the lubricant seals the clearance gaps between the rotors, cools the compressed air, and lubricates the bearings.
Key Requirements: Thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and low deposit formation. Synthetic fluids prevent varnish buildup, supporting drain intervals up to 8,000 hours.
Reciprocating compressors expose the lubricant to high temperatures and pressures at the discharge valve.
Key Requirements: High flash point and low carbon residue. This prevents carbon buildup on the valves, reducing the risk of fires or system failure.
Centrifugal compressors require high-speed bearing lubrication without entering the main compression chamber.
Key Requirements: Low viscosity index combined with foam resistance and fast air release. This ensures stable fluid dynamics in high-speed hydrodynamic bearings.
As a global supplier, Shandong Longhai complies with international chemical safety and customs requirements. We support our distributors with correct customs classification, Harmonized System (HS) coding, and GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in multiple languages.
We manage marine and rail transport logistics from the ports of Qingdao and Tianjin. Our export packing options include 200-liter steel drums, IBC totes, and flexibags, designed to maintain product integrity during long-distance transit.
To assist our OEM clients, we provide documentation for compliance registries, including REACH, RoHS, and national chemical inventories, helping to ensure smooth customs clearance in destination markets.
Key technological developments shaping the future of industrial lubricants and compressor maintenance.
Transitioning from standard mineral oils to high-performance synthetic fluids extends operational life from 2,000 hours to over 8,000 hours. This reduces disposal volumes and maintenance downtime.
Formulating lubricants with optimized shear stability and low traction coefficients reduces viscous drag in the compression chamber, lowering overall energy consumption.
Development of biodegradable synthetic esters and non-toxic PAG-based fluids for applications with strict environmental regulations, such as offshore drilling or agriculture.
Compliance with NSF H1 certifications for compressors used in food processing, beverage packaging, and pharmaceutical production, where accidental product contact may occur.
We supply custom-formulated lubricants tailored to specific operating climates, hardware configurations, and market specifications.
We balance base oil viscosity indexes, pour point depressants, and anti-foaming agents to meet API, ACEA, and specific OEM standards.
We handle small test batches up to full-scale container packaging. Packing sizes range from 1-liter canisters to 1,000-liter IBC containers.
Our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified plant provides third-party test documentation and lab reports for regulatory compliance.
We provide packaging design, label compilation, and safety sheet translations to assist partners in launching localized brands.
A structured approach ensures technical specifications and logistics align with your operating requirements.
Analyze machine specifications, operating temperatures, and environmental requirements.
Select base oil chemistry (PAO, Ester, Mineral) and add customized additive packages.
Measure physical properties, including wear scar diameters and oxidation induction times.
Blend and package using our automated 200,000-ton capacity plant.
Ship via sea or rail routes, supported by export customs clearance documentation.
Our facility operates under recognized international standards to ensure consistent quality control.
The base oil constitutes 80% to 99% of a compressor lubricant's volume. Using lower-grade base oils can lead to premature oxidative breakdown, generating acidic byproducts that damage internal seals and yellow metal components.
Shandong Longhai uses hydrocracked Group II and hydroisomerized Group III base stocks, which have low sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatic content. This provides better resistance to thermal oxidation and limits viscosity increases over extended run times.
For extreme temperatures, we offer Group IV Polyalphaolefin (PAO) formulations. PAO base stocks feature a high Viscosity Index (VI) without wax components, ensuring reliable low-temperature start-ups and maintaining oil film strength at high discharge temperatures.
