Whitepaper: The enhanced oxidative stability of metallocene polyalphaolefin base stocks Read more...

SpectraSyn™ Hi Vis PAO is used to increase base stock viscosity and upgrade lubricant quality with blend components especially suited for industrial oils requiring high stability under harsh operating conditions. Read more...

Lubricants formulated with Synesstic AN can be more stable and higher performing.

Benefits

• Increased thermal and oxidative stability
• Increased hydrolytic stability
• Good additive solvency
• Seal compatibility

Wind turbine power generation capacity and turbine size are both increasing, which drives wind power’s competitiveness by reducing the levelized cost of electricity. However, increasing power generation increases the loads on the gearbox and bearings, which increases the stress on the lubricants needed to protect the equipment. Read more...

Benefits

• Viscosity index range, for high performance at a wide temperature range
• Shear stability, for long drain intervals
• Low-temperature properties, for cold-start capability and fluidity

ExxonMobil is committed to creating a stable and secure supply of synthetic base stocks on a global scale. Take a brief look at our Baytown synthetic base stock manufacturing unit to see how we do it Read more...

SpectraSyn™ Low Vis PAO is used for upgrading mineral oil base stocks and creating a variety of synthetic and synthetic-blend lubricants. Read more...

To be competitive, ATF lubricants need enhanced durability, providing wear protection at lower viscosity as well as oxidative and shear stability even in extreme temperatures. That’s why more formulators are relying on our advanced synthetic base stocks for improved performance capabilities compared to mineral-based oils. Read more...

Challenges: Manufacturing grease for automotive and industrial markets provides plenty of opportunities and challenges. Greases are complex, multiphase systems that must:

• Stay in place during intermittent or constant operation
• Seal against contamination and moisture
• Lubricate machine elements, such as bearings, gears, slideways and joints

Hybrid and electric vehicles bring new requirements for electrical and thermal properties in lubricants. Our scientists are creating breakthrough synthetic base stock formulations that meet the needs of this expanding market. Read more...
