Product Overview
NEXT AB is an alkylbenzene refrigeration lubricant composed of selected alkylbenzene, synthetic, and mineral base stocks, formulated for conventional refrigeration compressors where lubricity, low-temperature fluidity, and long lubricant life set the requirement. It serves reciprocating, rotary screw, centrifugal, scroll, and rotary vane compressors in halogenated refrigeration systems running R-12, R-22, and the R-401A, R-401B, and R-402B service blends — the installed fleet that continues to run on these refrigerants.
