Polyalphaolefins (PAO)

Description

What is Polyalphaolefins (PAO)?

Polyalphaolefins (PAO) are synthetic hydrocarbons produced through the controlled polymerization of alpha-olefins. Recognized as premium synthetic base oils, PAOs exhibit superior chemical and thermal stability compared to conventional mineral oils. With properties such as low pour points, excellent oxidation resistance, high viscosity index, and low volatility, PAOs are widely used in automotive lubricants, industrial oils, aerospace applications, and pharmaceutical-grade testing.

At Chemex Chemicals, we supply high-quality Polyalphaolefins (PAO 40 and PAO 100) that meet international standards, ensuring consistent performance across demanding industrial applications.

Key Applications of Polyalphaolefins (PAO)

1. Automotive & Industrial Gear Oils

   • PAOs provide excellent load-carrying ability and shear stability, extending the lifespan of gear systems.

2. Compressor Oils

   • Ideal for rotary and reciprocating compressors due to oxidation resistance and low volatility, ensuring longer service intervals.

3. Bearing & Turbine Lubricants

   • PAO-based oils maintain thermal stability at high temperatures, reducing wear and improving efficiency.

4. Grease Formulations

   • Used as a base fluid for high-performance greases, ensuring low-temperature fluidity and high-temperature resistance.

5. Circulating Oils & Hydraulic Systems

   • Provide clean performance, rust protection, and longer drain intervals in industrial equipment.

6. Pharmaceutical & Cleanroom Testing

   • FDA-recommended PAOs are widely used as a safe substitute for DOP in HEPA filter integrity testing in cleanrooms and pharmaceutical facilities.

7. Viscosity Builders

   • Synton PAO 40 and PAO 100 serve as viscosity improvers for blending SAE and ISO grade lubricants in both mineral and synthetic oil formulations.

Features & Benefits of Polyalphaolefins (PAO)
