Synthetic oils are produced by chemical reactions in which the pressure, temperature, and ratio of component elements are diligently controlled. Through such control, the resulting compound will be pure, with maximized properties and, most importantly, a uniform molecular size.
This molecular size reduces the synthetic lubricant’s coefficient of traction. As for the coefficient of traction, these oils perform up to 30 percent better than mineral oils.

Synthetic oils: physical properties

Here are the basic characteristics of synthetic oils:

  • Energy efficiency: through the use of such oils, the temperature inside the machinery is kept moderate. As a result, less energy is wasted to produce the same amount of work.
  • Oxidation stability of synthetic oil: This means longer life even under the most extreme operating conditions. Longer oil life also equals less maintenance, lower labor costs, and less downtime.
  • Long-lasting equipment: synthetic oils provide superior protection, even under extreme working conditions, and consequently lead to longer component life. Longer component life means lower maintenance costs, replacement costs, and downtime for unexpected downtime due to sudden breakdowns.

Industrial applications

The industrial applications of synthetic oils are many, but they are mainly concentrated in two areas:
