VACUUM PUMP OIL
(SYNTHETIC)
(For Industrial use only)
Synthetic oils like Polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and Esters are high-performance base oils used in lubricants, offering superior performance over mineral oils. PAOs (API Group IV) are true synthetics with excellent thermal and oxidation stability, high viscosity index, and low-temperature fluidity, making them ideal for extreme conditions. Esters (API Group V) are polar molecules with a unique attraction to metal surfaces, providing superior detergency, additive solvency, and lubrication for severe applications and compatibility in PAO blends.
Polyalphaolefins (PAOs)
What they are: Non-polar, fully synthetic hydrocarbon fluids made through a controlled chemical process.
Key Characteristics:
- Wide temperature range: Perform well in both extreme cold and high heat conditions.
- Excellent stability: Offer superior thermal and oxidative stability, leading to longer drain intervals.
- High viscosity index: Maintain viscosity better across a range of temperatures compared to mineral oils.
Applications:
- Widely used in automotive and industrial lubricants, including engine, hydraulic, and compressor oils.
What they are:
- A type of synthetic oil (API Group V) with polar molecules.
Key Characteristics:
- Polar nature: Attract to positively charged metal surfaces, enhancing lubricity.
- Excellent detergency: Superior ability to dissolve sludge and engine deposits, improving engine cleanliness.
- Good solvency: Effectively hold and solubilize additives, improving overall performance.
