Esterex,Ñ¢ TM111 is a synthetic trimellitate ester base stock categorized as API Group V fluid. It exhibits excellent low-temperature properties, good lubricating characteristics, and low volatility, making it suitable for various engine and industrial lubricant applications. The product can be utilized as a sole basestock or blended with other synthetic fluids. Key properties include a specific gravity of 0.978, kinematic viscosity of 11.9 cSt at 212¬8F (100¬8C) and 124 cSt at 104¬8F (40¬8C), a pour point of -27¬8F (-33¬8C), and a flash point of 525¬8F (274¬8C). The Noack volatility is low at 1.4 wt%, and it demonstrates good hydrolytic stability with a total acid number of less than 0.16 mg KOH/g. Esterex,Ñ¢ TM111 also shows compatibility with various elastomers, including fluoroelastomers, nitriles, and polyacrylates, with specific volume and hardness changes noted. The product contains 0.2 to 0.3 wt% phenolic antioxidant, enhancing its stability. Esterex,Ñ¢ TM111 is available in multiple regions, including Asia Pacific, Latin America, and North America. Its inherent biodegradability makes it a suitable choice for environmentally sensitive applications.
Ranging from disbasic to polyol, Esterex™ esters are organic esters well-suited for lubricant applications, including automotive, textile, industrial, aviation, turbine and compressor lubricants.
They can be used as a stand-alone base stock or in combination with other fluids. Most Esterex esters are inherently biodegradable,* making them an appropriate choice for applications in which a lubricant is in contact with the environment.
*Biodegradability is defined by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as meeting specific biodegradation criteria under defined testing conditions.
