CP-4700-100 is a synthetic alkylbenzene (AB) refrigeration fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 95.18 cSt at 40 °C, which places it inside the ISO VG 100 band. It is the heaviest grade in the CP-4700 range made by CPI Fluid Engineering, the compression and refrigeration fluids business of The Lubrizol Corporation. The manufacturer describes it as an alkylate-based refrigeration oil that is friendly toward materials of construction and exhibits low floc points and superior stability, fully miscible with mineral oil, and lists R22, R407C, R12 and R502 as the refrigerants the range is designed for.
We manufacture and supply this viscosity class ourselves, at our own blending plant in Foshan, China — our equivalent is an alkylbenzene (AB) grade at the same viscosity class. It ships from Guangzhou Port, which is next to the plant. There is no fixed minimum order — it is confirmed per order, because a single can and a full container load are both workable and the figure moves with the pack size, the quantity and the destination. Delivery is on any Incoterms 2020 term — EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP and every other rule — and payment is on any commonly used method, including T/T, L/C and PayPal — send the compressor model, the refrigerant and the system's evaporating temperature and we will confirm the grade against the CPI data before quoting.
QISHANR is a refrigeration oil manufacturer and wholesale supplier, and this grade is supplied in bulk to distributors, HVACR service companies and compressor OEMs worldwide.
CP-4700-100 is supplied on published terms: the viscosity class, the price terms, the payment terms and the documents are the same for every buyer, and they can be quoted without a site visit. The minimum order is deliberately left open, because it is judged case by case: the grade, the quantity, the pack size, the shipping terms and the container load all move it, so a single can and a full container load are both workable and neither is treated as the normal case. Send us the quantity, the destination port and whether your own brand goes on the container, and those three turn the table below into a firm quotation. Documents and lead time work the same way on every order: the technical data sheet and safety data sheet come with the quotation, and the certificate of analysis for the delivered batch comes with the shipment. This grade is supplied wholesale and in bulk — to distributors, HVACR service companies, compressor OEMs and private-label buyers — as well as in single packs and sample quantities.
| Item | Terms for CP-4700-100 |
|---|---|
| Minimum order quantity | Not a fixed figure — confirmed per order, because it is judged case by case: the grade, the pack size, the quantity, the shipping terms and the container load all move it, so a single can and a full container load are both workable |
| Payment terms | Any commonly used payment method — T/T, L/C, PayPal and every other option — confirmed with the order |
| Price terms | Any Incoterms 2020 term — EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF, DDP and every other rule — quoted against your destination port |
| Supply ability | 1,000 pieces per year on this grade, at our blending plant in Foshan — this is the figure for our equivalent at this viscosity class, not the annual capacity of the plant |
| Origin | The original Lubrizol CPI product, or an equivalent manufactured at our own plant in Foshan, China |
| Supply options | The original Lubrizol CPI CP-4700-100, or an alkylbenzene (AB) grade at the same viscosity class manufactured at our blending plant in Foshan, China |
| Who buys this grade | Distributors and resellers who stock refrigeration oil, HVACR and refrigeration service companies, compressor OEMs filling new equipment, and buyers who need private-label or own-brand packing. Wholesale and bulk orders are the norm; trial and sample quantities are also supplied. |
| Grade confirmation | Send the compressor model, the refrigerant and the evaporating temperature. The CP-4700 range covers 30.60 to 95.18 cSt at 40 °C across three grades, and CP-4700-100 is the heaviest of them, so we confirm that CP-4700-100 is the right viscosity for your system before quoting |
| Viscosity class | 95.18 cSt at 40 °C, which falls inside the ISO VG 100 band (90–110 cSt) defined by ISO 3448 |
| Pack size | Confirmed at quotation. The manufacturer lists this grade in 5 gal (18.9 L) pails and 55 gal (208 L) drums; custom pack formats are available as a quotation item. |
| Documents issued with the order | Technical data sheet, safety data sheet, and a certificate of analysis for the delivered batch |
| Handling and storage | Store sealed, away from direct sunlight, and keep the container closed between top-ups. On an alkylbenzene charge the low-temperature behaviour is decided by what is in the oil, so cleanliness matters as much as the grade. Do not decant into an unlined steel drum. |
Supply ability is stated for this grade rather than for the plant as a whole. It is not the annual capacity of the blending plant.
A lubricant order is rarely only a lubricant order. The buyer is usually solving a grade question, an import documentation question, a freight question and a packaging question at the same time — often across more than one product family. Those are the parts of the job we take on, and they are handled by the same team that quotes the oil rather than passed to a third party.
We are a manufacturer rather than a reseller, which is what makes that possible. The blending plant in Foshan, Guangdong runs at 6,000 tonnes a year and has been producing lubricants for more than ten years, so the answer to most of the questions below comes out of our own production and our own paperwork. The enquiries that reach us on this grade are consistent: the buyer has a compressor on a mineral or alkylbenzene charge, a data sheet in hand, and needs to know whether the two match.
| What you are dealing with | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| You cannot tell whether the system takes 95.18 cSt or the grade next to it | Send the compressor model, the refrigerant and the operating temperatures. The CP-4700 range is the same base oil at three viscosity classes and the neighbouring grades are separated by the compressor duty and the working viscosity, so the answer comes from the data sheet rather than from the can. CP-4700-100 is the heaviest of the three, with CP-4700-68 at 56.04 cSt and CP-4700-32 at 30.60 cSt lighter — we confirm the grade in writing before you order, so it can be checked against the specification. |
| You are topping up a mineral oil system and need a synthetic that mixes with what is already in it | Send us the refrigerant, the oil that is already in the system and the quantity you need. The manufacturer describes the CP-4700 range as fully miscible with mineral oil, which is what allows the grade to be added to a mineral oil system rather than used only as a complete replacement charge. Tell us at the enquiry stage that this is a top-up rather than a changeover, because the confirmation is different. |
| You have the CPI data sheet and need the grade to match it | We confirm the viscosity class and the base oil type against the CPI data for this grade, and we supply to that specification rather than to a generic description. Every figure on this page is traceable to the published document, which is linked at the foot of the page. |
| You are buying alongside other oils and want them on one order | Refrigeration oils are the core of our business, not the whole plant. The same lines produce air compressor oils, vacuum pump oils and general industrial lubricants, and a mixed enquiry can be quoted, packed and shipped together rather than split across suppliers. |
| You need documentation for customs or for a tender | CE, CO, MSDS and transport certification are issued as standard documents with an export order. Tell us at the enquiry stage which certificate the destination requires and we compile the file with the quotation rather than after the shipment. |
The point of this list is that the questions are answered before the order rather than after it. If you are unsure which of them applies to you, describe the system and we will tell you what we need.
Grade confirmation comes before pricing, because the CP-4700 range is the same base oil at a range of viscosities and a wrong class is the mistake that costs a compressor. The sequence is the same whether you are buying one can or a full container:
If you already know the grade and only need a price, send the quantity and the destination port and we will quote directly.
The values below are the manufacturer's published figures for CP-4700-100, taken from the CPI Fluid Engineering technical data sheet for the grade. Nothing in this table is our own measurement, so every figure can be checked against the source at the end of the page.

The kinematic viscosity and viscosity index are the manufacturer's published figures for this grade; the density, pour point, flash and fire points, specific gravity and floc point are reproduced from the CP-4700 series technical data. The floc point method is printed as "ASTM ASH86" in that series table; the standard it refers to is ANSI/ASHRAE 86, Methods of Testing the Floc Point of Refrigeration-Grade Oils, and it is written here under its correct designation. Where a value is published against a named test method, the method is shown so the figure can be traced to the published test.
A specification table says what the oil is; these are the figures that decide whether it suits a given circuit, read from the published values above rather than from our own measurement.
| Parameter | Value for CP-4700-100 | What it controls |
|---|---|---|
| Kinematic viscosity at 40 °C | 95.18 cSt — inside the ISO VG 100 band of 90–110 cSt | The film thickness in the bearings and the load the oil places on the compressor. This is the figure a replacement has to match. |
| Viscosity index | 11 | How steeply the oil thins as it heats up. A low index means the viscosity falls more quickly with temperature than it would for a high-index synthetic, and on this grade the index is read as a description of the base oil rather than as a target to be met: an alkylbenzene is chosen for its miscibility and its floc point. |
| Floc point | −55 °C max | The highest temperature at which wax or other solid substances may precipitate out of the oil-and-refrigerant mixture, measured by ANSI/ASHRAE 86. The limit is a maximum, so a lower figure is the better one. On an alkylbenzene charge this is the figure that decides whether the expansion device can block with wax at low temperature, and it is read together with the pour point rather than instead of it. |
| Pour point | −30 °C (−22 °F) | The cold end of the working window. Below this the oil stops flowing, so it is the figure that decides whether the grade suits a low-temperature circuit. |
| Flash point | 221 °C | The hot end of the working window and a rough measure of how the oil behaves at the discharge valve. |
The CP-4700 range is one base oil offered across a range of viscosity grades, so the grades differ in thickness and in the duty they are intended for rather than in chemistry. The table shows the range as the manufacturer publishes it in the series technical data, with this product marked.
| Grade | Oil type | Application | Where it is used |
|---|---|---|---|
| CP-4700-32 | Alkylbenzene (AB) | R22, R407C, R12, R502 | The lightest grade in the range, at 30.60 cSt |
| CP-4700-68 | Alkylbenzene (AB) | R22, R407C, R12, R502 | The mid-range grade, at 56.04 cSt |
| CP-4700-100 (this product) | Alkylbenzene (AB) | R22, R407C, R12, R502 | The ISO VG 100 grade, and the heaviest in the range |
The manufacturer lists the same refrigerant and application for every grade in the range; the grades are separated by the viscosity class and the compressor duty.
If this grade is not the one you need, the sections below show where it sits against the rest of the CP-4700 range and against the oils we manufacture ourselves, so a substitution can be checked before it is ordered.
| Brand | Grade | Viscosity at 40 °C | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qishanr | Alkylbenzene refrigeration oil | 95.18 cSt, our own AB grade | Our own equivalent at this viscosity class and base oil type, blended in Foshan, China |
| Lubrizol / CPI | CP-4700 range | 30.60 to 95.18 cSt | The full alkylbenzene line; CP-4700-100 is the ISO VG 100 grade within it |
| Lubrizol / CPI | Solest range | 22 to 370 cSt | The polyol ester line from the same manufacturer, for HFC and HFO duty — a different base oil type, so not a substitute for this grade |
An alkylbenzene and a polyol ester are not interchangeable even at the same viscosity, and neither is a mineral oil. Match the base oil type to the refrigerant before matching the viscosity class.
CP-4700-100 is an alkylbenzene (AB) synthetic refrigeration oil with a kinematic viscosity of 95.18 cSt at 40 °C. The base oil type is the part that decides whether the charge works at all, and on this grade the decisive property is miscibility with mineral oil: the manufacturer describes the CP-4700 range as fully miscible with mineral oil, which is why it can be added to a mineral oil system rather than only used as a complete replacement charge.
That is a different proposition from a polyol ester. A polyol ester is the base oil for HFC and HFO duty, where mineral oil does not mix with the refrigerant, but it is not mixed with a mineral charge. An alkylbenzene sits between the two: it is a synthetic, with the superior stability and low floc point the manufacturer describes, and it can go into a system that already has mineral oil in it. The manufacturer lists R22, R407C, R12 and R502 as the refrigerants this range is designed for. If you are topping up rather than converting, tell us what is already in the system and we will confirm the grade against that.
The viscosity class is chosen from the compressor duty, not from the drum size. The CP-4700 range spans 30.60 to 95.18 cSt at 40 °C, and CP-4700-100 is the heaviest grade within it. A heavier oil forms a thicker film in the bearings and the rotor gaps and carries more load, and a lighter oil returns to the sump more readily at low temperature. Both directions have a cost when the class does not match the machine: step up and the compressor works against a film it was not designed for, step down and the film thins under load.
The figure to work from is the compressor manufacturer's requirement, and the grade in the CP-4700 range that matches it; that is the point at which we confirm the grade against the CPI data before quoting.
Every number on this page is the manufacturer's published value for CP-4700-100, and where the manufacturer states a figure under a named test method the method is reproduced alongside it. That matters in a product category where values circulate between suppliers: the viscosity at 40 °C, the viscosity index, the pour point and the flash point are all reported against specific procedures, and a figure quoted without its method cannot be checked.
It also means the figures have to be read carefully where a value looks unusual. The viscosity index of this grade is 11, which is low, and it is a description of how the base oil behaves rather than an error: a low index means the viscosity falls more quickly as the temperature rises, and it is read as a property of the base oil rather than as a target to be met.
On a mineral or alkylbenzene charge the low-temperature limit is not set by the pour point alone. Wax can precipitate out of the oil-and-refrigerant mixture well before the oil itself stops flowing, and that wax is what collects at the expansion device and blocks it. The floc point is the highest temperature at which that precipitation occurs under the standard test, so it is a ceiling rather than a floor: the manufacturer publishes the limit for this grade as −55 °C maximum, measured by ANSI/ASHRAE 86.
That is why the two figures are read together: the pour point of −30 °C describes when the oil in the sump stops moving, and the floc point of −55 °C maximum describes when wax starts to come out of the mixture in the circuit. A grade with a good pour point and a poor floc point will still wax up. Send the system's evaporating temperature and the refrigerant and we will confirm the grade against the CPI data before quoting.
The CP-4700 range is one base oil across a range of viscosity classes, so two grades that look almost identical on the drum can be wrong for each other's machine. A quotation that skips the grade check is a price for a product that may not fit the unit it is going into, and the cost of that mistake is a compressor rather than a drum of oil.
So the sequence is fixed: send the compressor or unit model, the refrigerant and the evaporating temperature, and we confirm the class against the CPI data before the price is issued. That is also what makes the specification comparable on a page like this one, because every figure is tied to a published document rather than to a description.
We manufacture lubricants at our own blending plant in Foshan, Guangdong, which runs at 6,000 tonnes a year and has been producing for more than ten years. That is what allows us to quote an alkylbenzene grade at this viscosity class from our own line against the CPI specification, and to hold stock on the grades we list rather than promising on behalf of a third party.
It also means the answer to a question about the oil comes from the plant rather than from an intermediary. If you need the grade matched to a compressor model, or to know which documents come with the shipment, tell us at the enquiry stage and we will confirm it against your destination rather than leave it until the order is placed.
Alongside the refrigeration oils the same plant produces air compressor oils, vacuum pump oils and general industrial lubricants, so a mixed enquiry can be quoted, packed and shipped as one shipment rather than split across suppliers.
A: There is no fixed minimum order — it is confirmed per order, because it depends on the pack size, the quantity and the destination, and a single can and a full container load are both workable. The manufacturer lists this grade in 5 gal (18.9 L) pails and 55 gal (208 L) drums, and custom pack formats and private-label artwork are available as a quotation item, so if your own label has to go on the container, say so when you enquire and it is quoted as part of the project rather than added afterwards.
A: CP-4700-100 is a synthetic alkylbenzene (AB) refrigeration fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 95.18 cSt at 40 °C, which places it in the ISO VG 100 class. It is made by CPI Fluid Engineering, the compression and refrigeration fluids business of The Lubrizol Corporation, and the CP-4700 range is described by its manufacturer as designed for refrigeration compressors using R22, R407C, R12 and R502. It is the heaviest grade in the range, and its published data covers the viscosity, viscosity index, density, pour point, flash and fire points and floc point against named test methods.
A: Both are alkylbenzene grades in the same CP-4700 range but at different viscosity classes. CP-4700-100 measures 95.18 cSt at 40 °C and carries the ISO VG 100 class; CP-4700-68 measures 56.04 cSt at 40 °C and carries the ISO VG 68 class, and CP-4700-32 at 30.60 cSt is lighter again. The manufacturer lists the same refrigerants for the whole range, so the grades are separated by the compressor duty and the working viscosity rather than by the gas. Send us the compressor model and the refrigerant and we will confirm which of the three matches the application.
A: The manufacturer lists R22, R407C, R12 and R502 as the refrigerants the CP-4700 range is designed for. That mix is worth reading carefully: it covers an HCFC (R22), a zeotropic HFC blend (R407C) and two CFCs (R12 and R502), which is the footprint an alkylbenzene charge is chosen for. For an HFC refrigerant outside R407C, such as R-134a, R-404A or R-410A, a polyol ester grade is the one to look at. Send us the gas and the compressor model and we will confirm which range applies before quoting.
A: Yes. The manufacturer describes the CP-4700 range as fully miscible with mineral oil, which is why the grade can be added to a mineral oil system rather than only used as a complete replacement charge. That is the practical difference between this grade and a polyol ester, which is not mixed with a mineral charge. If you are topping up, tell us the oil that is already in the system and the refrigerant, and we will confirm that this grade is the right one against it before you order.
A: The manufacturer publishes the floc point as −55 °C maximum. It is the highest temperature at which wax or other solid substances may precipitate out of the oil-and-refrigerant mixture under the standard test, so it is a ceiling and a lower figure is the better one. On a mineral or alkylbenzene charge that is the figure that decides whether the expansion device can block with wax, and it is read together with the pour point rather than instead of it: the pour point of −30 °C describes when the oil in the sump stops flowing, and the floc point describes when wax begins to come out in the circuit. A grade can have a good pour point and still wax up.
A: Each figure on this page is published by the manufacturer against a named procedure: ASTM D445 for the kinematic viscosity, ASTM D2270 for the viscosity index, ASTM D1298 for the density and specific gravity, ASTM D97 for the pour point, ASTM D92 for the flash and fire points, and ANSI/ASHRAE 86 for the floc point. The method is shown so the figure can be traced to the published test rather than treated as a general property, and so two suppliers' data sheets can be compared on the same basis.
A: Yes. Private-label artwork and custom pack formats are a normal quotation item on our own equivalent grade, and the container is packed at our plant in Foshan. Tell us at the enquiry stage that your own label is required, and the artwork and the pack are quoted together with the oil rather than added afterwards.
A: Store it sealed, away from direct sunlight, and keep the container closed between top-ups. Cleanliness matters more than anything else on this grade: the floc point and the low-temperature behaviour of an alkylbenzene charge are decided by what is in the oil, so the container should be resealed after every use and the oil should not be decanted into an unlined steel drum where it can pick up rust and moisture.
Every figure on this page is taken from a published document rather than from our own measurement, so each one can be checked before you buy. This is the set of sources, with the document each figure came from.
| Source | What it establishes |

| CPI — CP-4700-100 technical data (as published by the CPI distributor CRR, Guangzhou) | The manufacturer's published data for this grade: the alkylbenzene base oil type, the R12 / R22 / R407C / R502 refrigerants, the density, pour point, flash and fire points, specific gravity, floc point and the 18.9 L and 208 L packaging used in the table above. |
| ANSI/ASHRAE 86 — Methods of Testing the Floc Point of Refrigeration-Grade Oils | The standard behind the floc point figure quoted on this page. It defines the test that measures the waxing tendency of a refrigeration-grade oil at low temperature, and defines the floc point as the highest temperature at which wax or other solid substances precipitate from a mixture of the oil and refrigerant under specified cooling, which is the figure that decides whether an alkylbenzene charge can block an expansion device. |

This oil is manufactured and supplied by Guangzhou Qishanr Technologies Co., Ltd., trading as the brand QISHANR. The company is based in Foshan, Guangdong, adjacent to Guangzhou Port, and has been producing lubricants for more than 10 years from its own blending plant. That plant runs at an annual capacity of 6,000 tonnes, which is what allows us to hold stock on the grades we list and quote firm lead times rather than promising on behalf of a third party.
Refrigeration oils are the core of the business, but they are not the whole plant. The same lines produce general industrial lubricants, so a mixed enquiry that covers both refrigeration oils and ordinary industrial grades can be quoted, packed and shipped together instead of being split across suppliers.
This is not the full range. Specialised ester base oils and lubricant additives are produced in-house as well, which is the reason the synthetic ester grades can be specified to a target rather than bought off a shelf. If the grade you need is not listed above, send the specification or the product you are replacing and we will confirm whether we produce it.
Long-term partners get pricing that reflects a stable manufacturing base rather than a trading margin, and the same technical contact stays with the account from grade selection through to repeat orders.
CP-4700-100 is a 95.18 cSt alkylbenzene, so a quotation depends on the grade, the pack size and the destination port rather than on a list price. Send your compressor or unit model, the refrigerant and the quantity you need. We will confirm the viscosity class against the CPI data — including whether your system takes the 95.18 cSt grade or the class next to it — and come back with pricing, pack size and lead time. A technical data sheet and safety data sheet come with the quotation, and we can quote our own equivalent at the same viscosity class side by side so the comparison is on landed cost.
