- Product Highlights
Diesters are low to medium viscosity synthetic base stocks that have two ester groups. Most diesters are made from a dibasic acid combined with monofunctional alcohols, while a polyol diester is made from a synthetic glycol and monofunctional acids.
Diesters are known for outstanding low temperature properties, lubricity and solvency. The polar ester groups provide excellent high temperature stability and low temperature fluidity. When comparing diesters to hydrocarbon oils and other synthetics with the same viscosity, a diester fluid will have a higher flash point, lower volatility and better thermal stability. Diesters improve additive solubility and seal conditioning, while offering natural high viscosity index thats boosts lubrication efficiency. The use of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL) are essential, especially in applications where accidental release into environmentally sensitive areas is possible. Equipment used in marine operations, ports/harbors, farming, forestry, golf courses and electrical transformers utilize synthetic ester based EALs to protect the environment, avoid costly clean-up charges/fines and achieve performance superior to mineral oils. 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.
