Wear Reduction Performance
Oil drained from each 400 hour test compressor
was analyzed at Southwest Research Institute and
produced the following results

• Surface Analysis Results
• Element Untreated Treated
• with ICE 32 Difference
• Cu 3 ppm 2 ppm 33 less
• Fe 10 ppm 2 ppm 80 less
• Zn 34 ppm 8 ppm 76 less
• Others unchanged or
• Summary of Analysis
• ICE 32 substantially reduces content of active
  metal components in oil after only 400 hours
• Indicates substantially reduced wear on
  components and bearing surfaces
• Oil should remain effective longer

Untreated Orifice Tube
Treated with ICE 32
Significantly more debris in orifice tube NOT
treated with ICE 32
