polyalphaolefinbased
Polyalphaolefin based refers to lubricants and fluids formulated using polyalphaolefins (PAOs) as their base stock. PAOs are synthetic hydrocarbons derived from the oligomerization of alpha-olefins, typically 1-decene. This process involves linking together multiple alpha-olefin molecules to form larger, more complex structures. The resulting PAOs exhibit a range of desirable properties that make them suitable for high-performance lubrication applications.
Key characteristics of PAO-based lubricants include excellent thermal and oxidative stability, meaning they resist degradation at
PAO-based lubricants are commonly used in demanding applications such as automotive engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic
