This lowers their volatility, creates less hydrocarbon tailpipe emissions and raises the flash point. 0000161878 00000 n When you add up the benefits, you may see that one plus one can make more than two. Unlike other industrial basestocks, PAOs are generally classified by their kinematic viscosity at 100C. The chart below shows the trends in industry specifications regarding low-temperature performance relative to Synfluid PAO. All rights reserved. 0000012483 00000 n After all, the reason a PAO is selected as a lubricant basestock is its ability to improve performance and solve problems. The chart below shows a comparison of the foaming characteristics of our Synfluid mPAO high-viscosity base oils with traditional high-viscosity PAO 40 and 100 cSt base oils. Since then, the company has expanded PAO as well as ethylene production, both basic building blocks for many petrochemical processes. Benefits of the new system are a much higher viscosity index (VI), superior pour points and improved low-temperature fluidity, all of which contribute to improved energy efficiency. As pressure increases, so too does the viscosity of the lubricant. PAOs are considered a very pure substance since they are derived from petrochemically pure ethylene and then from 1-decene or 1-dodecene, which could be considered a further purification step. This is compared to a conventional hydraulic fluid in the chart below. With many new base oils being introduced to the market, lubricant consistency can really be a challenge. The price of Polyalphaolefin (PAO) has been steadily decreasing throughout the third quarter of 2022 on the back of the poor performance of the downstream automotive sector in the continent. Therefore, they are commonly blended or combined with organic ester synthetic base oils to provide a blended base oil that does not have these negative characteristics. Refined mineral oils often contain sulfurs, aromatics and other compounds that can erode the quality and consistency of a mineral oil. 0000034419 00000 n With the powerful combination of MOLYKOTE Specialty Lubricants and DuPont Polymers, our understanding of grease-polymer compatibility allows our customers the unique ability to select products faster and move through validations with confidence.

The most favorable performance is achieved by using the highest-quality base oils. default Due to constraints with the supply of 1-decene, the traditional feedstock for PAOs, producers have experimented with alternative feedstocks to meet demand. Were a company with deep-rooted values, and were looking for people like you to join our team. endobj 0000032842 00000 n The higher the coefficient, the greater the change in viscosity at elevated pressures. They are also employed as base fluids in some wide temperature range greases. Whether its transportation or industrial lubes, greater fuel efficiency means lower operating costs. This chart illustrates another benefit of using Synfluid PAOs at increased antioxidant treat rates. Softening, loss of strength, or swelling may occur. This formulation achieved a 13% benefit when the PAO was directly substituted with Synfluid PAO. They're found in everyday food and available as supplements. 0000140275 00000 n Furthermore, we are able to achieve these properties with non-decene alpha olefin feedstocks while providing advantages over existing products and extending feedstock supply. Our customers quickly realized the advantages in volatility, low-temperature viscometrics, VI and flash and fire points in equiviscous blends compared to 1-decene-based materials. Let us help you. 0000036915 00000 n If you are using multiple greases, there are certain risks for misapplication, which are minimized with a multi-purpose grease. Typically, as the viscosity drops, the volatility increases. 0000001605 00000 n During 2011, Chevron Phillips Chemical acquired PAO assets in Beringen, Belgium, and began mPAO production in Texas. Although VI is an important indicator, when used alone, VI is misleading. The more similar in polarity the lubricants are, the more similar they will behave in the properties mentioned. xmp.did:F87F1174072068118083E936383AAE83 To correctly identify what type of fluid is needed, the end-user must know the minimum lubricant requirements for that piece of equipment. Metallocene-catalyzed commercial mPAO basestock grades can attain a viscosity of 300 cSt at 100C. endobj LDPE is defined by a density range of 0.910-0.940 g/cm3. 1 - High Resistance 2 - Limited Resistance 3 - No Resistance . The Scanning Brookfield chart on this page demonstrates the difference in viscometrics between a Synfluid PAO and a pour point depressed mineral oil. Specifically, soybean-derived oils or other bio-derived oils alone would not meet some oxidative stability and low-temperature performance requirements. . PPDs act only on linear or waxy compounds, and these characteristics are absent from PAOs. The information listed in parentheses is D-1418 nomencalture, common acronyms or common trade names. Furthermore, the arbitrary distinction of 120 VI between Group II and III oils makes the quality requirements even more confusing. Two major types of synthetic basestockspolyalkylene glycols (PAG) and polyalphaolefin (PAO)and the lubricants formulated from them, will be compared.
