MIL-PRF-23699

MIL-PRF-23699 lubricants meet stringent military specifications and finds widespread use in military and commercial aerospace applications, particularly in gas turbine engines powering various aerospace vehicles such as fighter jets and helicopters. The oil is identified by NATO Code Numbers O-152, O-154, O-156 & O-167.

These lubricants are crucial for optimal engine performance, longevity, and reliability. Their primary function is to reduce friction in gas turbine engines, safeguarding rotating and sliding components like turbine blades and bearings from wear and tear caused by extreme temperatures and high rotational speeds. By acting as a protective barrier, these lubricants minimise friction and contribute to the overall efficiency of the engine.

Additionally, MIL-PRF-23699 lubricants offer vital corrosion protection. Aerospace vehicles often face challenging environments, including high altitudes, temperature variations, and exposure to atmospheric elements. These lubricants create a protective film on engine surfaces, preventing corrosion and maintaining the structural integrity of essential components.
