Synton® PAO 40

DESCRIPTION

SYNTON® PAO 40 is a high viscosity poly alpha olefin fluid that can be used as a base stock and viscosity builder for a wide range of engine and industrial lubricating oil products, both mineral oil and synthetic based. It is manufactured by the polymerization of alphaolefins. SYNTON® PAO 40 has excellent oxidation resistance, shear stability, low pour point, low volatility and a high flash point and is completely compatible with a wide range of synthetic and mineral base oils.

APPLICATIONS

Gear Oils (Automotive & Industrial), Compressor Oils, Bearing Lubricants, Turbine Oils, Circulating Oils, Grease
