Unique Properties of SYNALOX Lubricants

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

High Viscosity Index – SYNALOX Fluids 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 have outstanding overall load carrying capacity, film strength, and anti-wear properties.

Cleanliness, No Sludge Formation– SYNALOX Fluids 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 exhibit high stability to heat, air (with addition of appropriate antioxidants), acids, alkalis and high shear environments.

Low Pour Point – SYNALOX Fluids 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 is substantially lower than in petroleum oils and polyalphaolefins. Therefore, SYNALOX Fluids maintain their viscosity better in intimate contact with such gases, thus providing thicker lubricant films and better lubrication.
