Base Oil Group – IV

PAO 100cSt

Description:
PAO 100 cSt is an ultra-high-viscosity synthetic base oil from the Group IV (Polyalphaolefin) family, manufactured via the polymerization of linear alpha-olefins (commonly 1-decene). Designed for the most demanding lubricant applications, PAO 100 offers exceptional film strength, thermal stability, and oxidative resistance combined with a very high viscosity index. This base oil is ideal for specialty lubricants, including heavy-duty greases, industrial gear oils, and high-load hydraulic fluids, where superior protection under extreme pressure and temperature conditions is required.

Production Process:

• Oligomerization of Alpha-Olefins: Produces uniform synthetic hydrocarbon chains with controlled molecular weight

• Hydrogenation: Saturates molecules for enhanced chemical and thermal stability

• Fractionation: Ensures precise viscosity specification and product consistency

Key Technical Properties (Typical Values):

• Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C: ~95–105 cSt

• Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C: ~850–950 cSt

• Viscosity Index (VI): ~140–150

• Flash Point (COC): >280°C

• Pour Point: -30°C to -40°C

• Color: Water-clear

• Sulfur Content: 0%

• Saturates: ~100%

• Volatility (NOACK): Very low

• Shear Stability: Excellent – maintains viscosity and film strength under extreme mechanical stress

Benefits:

• Exceptional load-carrying capacity and film strength for extreme pressure conditions

• Superior thermal and oxidative stability extends lubricant and equipment life

• Low volatility reduces oil consumption and emissions

• Excellent compatibility with additives and thickening agents for grease and specialty fluid formulations

• High purity and clarity ensure consistent performance in demanding applications

Applications:

• Heavy-Duty Industrial Gear Oils: High-load gearboxes requiring superior lubrication

• High-Performance Greases: Thickener base for extreme-pressure and high-temperature greases

• Hydraulic Fluids: Specialty synthetic fluids for heavy machinery and extreme environments

• Compressor and Turbine Oils: For long-life, high-temperature operation

• Marine and Rail Lubricants: High-viscosity oils for severe service conditions
