- Product Highlights
Synthetic esters are high performance base stock components used in the formulation of synthetic engine, transmission and racing oils due to their low NOACK volatility, thermal stability and compatibility with mineral oil and PAO base oils. Their polar nature conditions seals, improves additive solubility and reduces deposit formation solubilizing sludge, soot and other oxidation byproducts. Synthetic esters provide shear stable high viscosity index which enhances operating efficiency and fuel economy.
The global automotive industry continues to demand lower viscosity motor oils that provide better fuel efficiency under more severe conditions, while maintaining wear protection and long drain intervals. Engine and transmission oils must flow under cold weather conditions to lubricate on startup and also provide lubricating film strength under high temperature/high shear conditions. High quality synthetic esters combined with PAO and Group III mineral oils deliver advanced performance for the next generation of synthetic engine oils.
Diesters and polyol esters are particularly favored for two stroke engines oils that require an environmentally friendly, clean burning fuel component that provides excellent lubricity and inhibits deposit formation. Synthetic esters are available in a wide variety of viscosity grades and deliver an excellent combination of oxidative stability, low temperature fluidity, lubricity and high viscosity index in greases formulated with high performance thickeners. Low volatility and a favorable eco-toxicity profile make synthetic esters an excellent choice for greases that are used in outdoor partial loss applications or in environmentally sensitive areas. 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.
