PAO 6

PAO 6 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 6 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 6 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:

• Passenger car engines
• Commercial heavy-duty diesel engines
• Gear Oils
• Compressor Oils
• Turbine Oils
• Circulating Oils
• Grease

 

HANDLING INFORMATION
