Impactful Features of Synfluid® PAOs

Chip in water

Energy Usage Reduction

Reducing energy use boosts efficiency and helps maintain cooler operating temperatures - benefits that align with long-term operational and environmental goals.
 

  • Excellent dielectric and thermal properties
  • Superior thermal conductivity and heat transfer capabilities
  • Low volatility and excellent thermal stability over a wide range of temperatures

Improved Reliability 

Lower friction reduces energy consumption and equipment wear, supporting a more efficient and sustainable operation. 
 

  • High viscosity index (VI) of our PAOs provides maximum protection in both hot and cold operating conditions  
  • High material compatibility, not corrosive to copper, and non-staining to aluminum  
  • Outstanding oxidative stability, hydrolytic stability, and water shedding properties lead to long-lasting fluids 
Wind Turbines

Other Key Performance Properties

These additional characteristics reinforce Synfluid® PAO as the high-performing choice for more sustainable operations. 
 

  • Low-viscosity PAOs can be used in biodegradable fluids. Our lowest viscosity products, PAO 2 and 2.5, have excellent biodegradability.
  • Superior stability of the PAO molecules allows for increased longevity of the fluid and less waste generated
  • Increased safety thanks to low flammability, high flash and fire points  
  • All Synfluid® PAO products are NSF H1 and HX-1 registered and certified for incidental food contact, ensuring responsible application in sensitive environments.
