The PAOsare produced through synthesizing oligomers of either 1-decene or 1-dodecene. Since we use essentially pure 1-decene or 1-dodecene to produce Synfluid PAOs, there is a narrow isomeric distribution for each oligomer. 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. This Chemical Compatibility Chart is a shorthand tool for describing the suitability of miniature fluidic and pneumatic component materials for use in contact with various chemicals. PAOs on the other hand are derived from a clearly defined processing technology using petrochemically pure alpha olefins. <>/ExtGState<>/Font<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text]/XObject<>>>/Rotate 0/Thumb 162 0 R/TrimBox[0.0 0.0 792.0 612.0]/Type/Page>> . Weve got you covered! Available on demand until February 16, 2024. 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. Recent advancements in additive technology and synthetic base fluid manufacturing are pushing the performance edges that make current lubricant offerings better than ever. 0000001493 00000 n
Were a company with deep-rooted values, and were looking for people like you to join our team. As the chart below shows, greater energy efficient, lower viscosity oils can be made through the selection of PAO, without sacrificing volatility. Using Chevron Phillips Chemical Synfluid PAOs, OM Group (OMG) has developed a revolutionary new, lower-temperature, abbreviated process for producing greases. Oils made with PAOs demonstrate an inherently high viscosity index and maintain excellent low-temperature performance, compared with mineral oils. Softening, loss of strength, or swelling may occur. We believe it can be understood by looking at the thermal conductivity and specific heat of the base oils. MOLYKOTE. PAOs are uniquely suited to aviation hydraulics because of the inherently high flash/fire points and low volatility. Based on recent average gas prices, conserving just 1% to 2% of the U.S. fuel consumption per year would save $14 million per day. Thermal conductivity is the measure of the ability to conduct heat. Synfluid PAOs provide outstanding improvements in oxidation stability, volatility, water separability and viscometrics, greatly improving oil and hardware longevity. There are distinct advantages in volatility and low-temperature viscosity. Temp. 9 0 obj
