Performance Characteristics Contributing to a More Sustainable Future
Recognized for their performance in extreme temperatures, Synfluid® PAOs have many impactful characteristics:
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 properties and effective liquid insulators
- 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
Other Key Performance Characteristics
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, are readily or inherently biodegradable.
- 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
