- Product Uses
- NA-LUBE® KR-019 is a synthetic alkyl aromatic additive with excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability. NA-LUBE® KR-019 can be used as a solubility modifier in formulations blended with low polarity base oils or severely hydrotreated base stocks to enhance additive response.
- The recommended treat level of NA-LUBE® KR-019 as a solubility modifier is between 5.0% and 15.0% depending on the application.
- NA-LUBE® KR-019 can also be used as a major base fluid for high temperature applications requiring exceptional thermo-oxidative stability.
