Properties

Technical Details & Test Data

Test Data: Like the other Versagel products, Versagel MC is shear thinning. However, the Versagel MC products are unique in that they exhibit minimal “stringiness” due to the short hydrocarbon chain structure of the base oil. This characteristic is desirable in certain applications where elasticity needs to be minimized. The graph shows a how viscosity decreases as the temperature decreases for Versagel MC 750.
