The REFLO™ line of refrigeration compressor fluids is developed for use in commercial refrigeration compressor systems.
REFLO™ CFC is formulated for use in systems using CFC (chlorinated fluorocarbon) refrigerants such as Freon, Genetron and Isotron. It is a highly refined naphthenic oil with excellent low temperature properties. It is not recommended in HFC (hydrofluorocarbons) systems such as R134a or R23.
REFLO™ CFC can be used in ammonia refrigeration systems. REFLO™ CFC can also be used at moderate temperatures with HCFC (hydrochlorinated fluorocarbon) refrigerants such as R-22, R-123, R-124, R-141b, R-142b, R-502 as well as Methyl Chloride and Carbon Dioxide (R-744).
REFLO™ 46A and 68A are formulated from pure paraffinic base stocks and continue to provide exceptional service in ammonia refrigeration systems. REFLO™’s lower solubility in ammonia can reduce carryover and help to improve system efficiency and performance through proper system maintenance. Its excellent thermal and oxidative stability can also help to extend fluid life.
REFLO™ XL Synthetic Blend is a refrigeration compressor fluid used in industrial ammonia refrigeration systems. REFLO™ XL Synthetic Blend is formulated to outperform straight API Group II, solvent refined paraffinic and naphthenic refrigeration oils by extending service life. It has good compatibility with seal materials; it contains a seal swell agent to reduce fluid leaks. REFLO™ XL Synthetic Blend is miscible with similar paraffinic mineral oil based products.
REFLO™ products meet the requirements of many refrigeration OEMs, including Sabroe, Grasso, Frick, Mycom, Frigoscandia, Gram, Vilter, Huppmann GMBH, J&E Hall, Howden, FES, and Dunham-Busch. Check with the Original Equipment Manufacturer, the technical data sheet and consult with a technical services representative for details.

Food Industry Approvals
REFLO™ XL Synthetic Blend, REFLO™ 46A and REFLO™ 68A are NSF H2 registered.
REFLO™ Synthetic 68A is formulated to lubricate ammonia refrigeration compressors used in large commercial operations such as cold stores, marine systems and food processing plants; specifically blast freezers that have very low temperature control, such as pharmaceuticals and microelectronics. REFLO™ Synthetic 68A can be used in ammonia refrigeration systems where evaporator temperatures are as low as -51°C/-60°F.
REFLO™ Synthetic 68A is miscible with mineral oils such as hydrotreated (HT) and solvent refined (SR) paraffinic oils.
REFLO™ Synthetic 68A is designed to have good compatibility with seal materials; it contains a seal swell agent to help reduce fluid leaks.
REFLO™ Synthetic 68A is compatible with elastomers made of materials such as NBR, SBR, CR, NR, MVQ and FKM (Viton).
