According to analysis conducted by Kline & Co., more than 78% of all lubricant requirements in the world annually are met with the use of mineral oil-based fluids. endobj 2013-07-10T14:05:23-05:00 After all, the reason a PAO is selected as a lubricant basestock is its ability to improve performance and solve problems. The Ethylene price in the Europe region was dull throughout the third quarter of 2022, which abetted the declining price trend of PAO throughout Q3 in Europe. There are several systems where we have observed a reduction in the operating temperature compared to mineral oils, including transmissions, engines and heat transfer applications. First, dont touch the gear box; you will burn your hand. In both cases, the reduction in volatility will translate to lower oil consumption and reduced engine varnish over the life of the oil. The use of synthetic or man-made lubricants in various industrial and automotive applications are becoming commonplace and continues to expand into applications where only mineral oil-based fluids had been used. Additionally, PAOs have high viscosity indices, which lead to less film thickness reduction at elevated temperatures. Polypropylene Satisfactory to 72 F. C Moderate effectFair D Severe effectNot recommended FOOTNOTES 1. Synfluid PAOs are crafted from an on-purpose process that yields a consistent, high-quality product. 0000001332 00000 n Polyphenols are a complicated group of plant-based chemicals. These properties translate into easier distribution of the grease and improved energy efficiency in the equipment. Polyalphaolefin (PAO) is manufactured through a synthetic chemical process that originates from ethylene. However, unlike foaming, entrained air can be a difficult problem to treat with additives. Galvanized steel is susceptible to attack by some chemicals which may cause . material chemical compatibility If you would like us to test your formulation or have questions about our formulating experience, give us a call. default PAO-base oils help improve fuel economy in engine and drivetrain oils by reducing viscosity, volatility and traction coefficients as the chart below shows: These results show the potential for reducing friction loss using PAOs, which also typically have lower pressure-viscosity coefficients than mineral oils reducing elastohydrodynamic gear friction losses and energy consumption. This chart illustrates another benefit of using Synfluid PAOs at increased antioxidant treat rates. Polypropylene Satisfactory to 120 F. 4. You can see a medical doctor for your burn, but Dr. Ken Hope can help with your base oil and formulation challenges. The results indicate that the CSC 980 Tan grease has a running torque of 3.77 N-m versus 10.9 N-m for the same grease with an alternate base oil. general guideline for pump material selection 0 Low-viscosity PAO fluids are used in automotive applications, such as engine oil and gear lubricants.
