Some claim the Viscosity Index (VI) is the overriding parameter used when choosing a base oil. The choice of C10- or C12-derived PAO depends on the application and/or specification requirements. PAO-based greases are typically used at temperatures over 100C because of thermal and oxidative concerns. The reason a PAO is selected as a lubricant basestock is its ability to improve performance and solve problems. In these extreme services, a PAO-based lubricant is able to reach the area that requires lubrication and prevent damage or wear. However, Group III base stocks are derived from multiple feedstock choices and processing technologies, which create variability in the properties. You would expect the viscosity to improve with a lower pour point, but the opposite is true. California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Disclosure. Our C12-based grades further improve flash/fire points by as much as 10 percent over other commercial polyalphaolefins.

One way to achieve a higher VI base fluid is to shift from a decene-based PAO to a dodecene-based PAO. Leaking fluids from equipment used in sensitive geographical areas can have long-term negative consequences on the environment. PAO basestocks were developed in the 1930s and used commercially as a base for engine oils starting in the 1970s. Now that fuel economy is more important than ever, even a one percent improvement can make a significant difference on overall costs. Grade Name. The lower volatility of Synfluid PAOs 5, 7 and 9 enhances the benefits for the highest quality lubricant. Its great to have the opportunity to talk about both. These units provide a flow of temperature controlled fluid or Polyalphaolefin liquid. Low-viscosity Synfluid PAOs are both NSF H1 and HX-1 registered. It is possible to get added property benefits from C12-based Synfluid PAOs. Specific tests such as the Volkswagen T-4, TDI and Peugeot TU-5 have increased the demand for higher-quality base oils. To improve fuel economy, OEMs are moving toward lower-viscosity oils, even in heavy-duty diesel engines. For white oil applications, this high saturation level would give a greater degree of chemical inertness. European specifications, as well as those in other regions, are expected to tighten. One application in which they have not worked well is in high-temperature (high-pressure) reciprocating air compressors where valve deposits have been an issue. PAG- and PAO-based lubricants are used in multiple industries and, as synthetics, offer improved performance over mineral oils. package, an optimal PAO formulation will be different than that of mineral oils. More importantly, however, was product performance. For instance, Chemtool Incorporated utilizes Synfluid PAOs in greases, and they have been able to formulate their products to take specific advantage of Synfluid PAO properties, yielding improvements in low-temperature mobility and torque. The most favorable performance is achieved by using the highest-quality base oils. Since then, the company has expanded PAO as well as ethylene production, both basic building blocks for many petrochemical processes. 0000002388 00000 n
