PAOÖle
PAOÖle, commonly referred to as PAO oils, are a family of synthetic hydrocarbon lubricants produced by the polymerization of alpha-olefin monomers followed by hydrogenation. The resulting base oils offer predictable viscosity across a wide temperature range and superior oxidative stability compared with many mineral oils.
Production typically involves oligomerization of alpha-olefins such as 1-decene, 1-dodecene, or mixed feeds, using catalysts based
Key properties of PAOÖle include a high viscosity index, low volatility, excellent low-temperature fluidity, and high
Applications cover base stocks for automotive engine oils, transmission fluids, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and compressors,
Advantages include consistent quality, narrow distillation ranges, and reliable oxidative and thermal stability, along with good
