Unique Properties of SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants

Viscosity – SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants are commercially available in ISO viscosity range 22 to 1000.

High Viscosity Index – SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants have very high viscosity indices compared to petroleum derived base stocks and other synthetic lubricants and range typically from 180 to over 250.

Excellent Lubricity – SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants have outstanding overall load carrying capacity, film strength, and anti-wear properties.

Cleanliness, No Sludge Formation– SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants do not decompose to form sludges and carbon lacquers at high temperatures as is the case with other lubricant base stocks, which are subject to degradation and polymerization.

Excellent Stability – SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants exhibit high stability to heat, air (with addition of appropriate antioxidants), acids, alkalis and high shear environments.

Low Pour Point – SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants usually exhibit very low pour points ranging from -30°C to lower than -50°C. They do not contain nor require pour point depressants.

Gas Solubility – The solubility of common compressed gases, such as natural gas, ethylene, hydrogen, etc., in SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants is substantially lower than in petroleum oils and polyalphaolefins. Therefore, SYNALOX™ Fluids & Lubricants maintain their viscosity better in intimate contact with such gases, thus providing thicker lubricant films and better lubrication.
