- Product Uses
- NA-LUBE® KR-023 is a synthetic alkyl aromatic additive with excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability and extremely low volatility. The recommended treat level of NA-LUBE® KR-023 as a modifier is between 5.0% and 15.0% depending on the application.
- It can be used as a solubility modifier in formulations blended with white oils or synthetic base stocks to enhance additive response.
- NA-LUBE® KR-023 can also be used as a major base fluid for high temperature and vacuum applications requiring exceptional thermo-oxidative stability, solubility and lubricity.
