PAO 4 is a low viscosity poly alpha olefin fluid that can be used as a base stock for a wide range of engine and industrial lubricating oil products. It is manufactured by the polymerization of alphaolefins. PAO 4 has optimal combination of volatility and low-temperature fluidity. It provides high lubrication properties and increased film thickness at high temperatures. It also has excellent oxidation resistance, shear stability and a high flash point and is completely compatible with a wide range of synthetic and mineral base oils.
APPLICATION
PAO 4 can be used as a base stock for a wide range of engine and industrial lubricating oil products, both mineral oil and synthetic based. Some examples:
HANDLINGINFORMATION
PAO 4 is a viscous liquid polymer and is normally handled at slightly elevated temperatures. For general purposes, the following maximum storage and handling temperatures are recommended:
SAFETYINFORMATION
PAO 4 exhibits an extremely low level of dermal, oral and inhalation toxicity, as well as, low eye irritation.
SHIPPINGINFORMATION
Product is shipped under a nitrogen blank in tank trucks, railcars, and non-returnable 55-gallon (imperial) steel drums (370 lbs. net).
