- Product Highlights
High quality synthetic esters are widely used as compressor base stocks due to their excellent thermal/oxidative stability, low volatility, and wide operating temperature range. They provide clean operation for long life at elevated temperatures. Reciprocating and rotary vane compressors take advantage of the inherent lubricity and solvency of diesters and trimellitates while rotary screw and centrifugal fluids benefit from the extreme oxidative stability of polyol esters. Refrigeration grades (SRL) have optimized miscibility and flow properties with the refrigerant gas at high and low temperatures. Synthetic esters have a long history of use in aviation jet engine lubricants due to their combination of oxidative stability, low volatility and high viscosity index. Aviation turbine engine bearings demand fluidity at extreme low temperatures and lubrication film strength under high shear and high temperature conditions. Esters have been proven to deliver long life, low deposit formation and reliable lubrication under the most extreme operating conditions.
