This presentation will demonstrate how SynessticTM AN5 and AN12 Group V base stocks can work as a booster to improve performance to meet lubricant industry needs and expand base oil formulation flexibility.
Overview
Lubricant markets continue to push for extended fluid life while improving the lifetime and operational efficiency of equipment. To increase efficiency, OEMs are focusing on better engine performance, longer oil life and smaller sump size. To help achieve those goals Synesstic™ alkylated naphthalene AN5 & AN12 can be incorporated into the base oil blend as a booster. Synesstic™ base stocks enhance thermo-oxidative stability, augment additive performance, extend fluid operating life, increase blend stability and improve engine cleanliness. This performance is achieved with the added benefits of improved seal compatibility and hydrolytic stability compared to esters.
