PAO 2cSt
Description:
PAO 2 is a synthetic hydrocarbon base oil belonging to the Group IV classification under API guidelines. It is produced via the oligomerization of alpha-olefins, typically 1-decene, followed by hydrogenation. With a kinematic viscosity of ~2 cSt at 100°C, PAO 2 offers excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and low volatility, making it ideal for applications requiring low-viscosity, high-performance lubrication.
Thanks to its outstanding low-temperature fluidity and shear stability, PAO 2 is often used in formulations where fuel economy, cold-start performance, and extended oil life are critical.
