SpectraSyn,Ñ¢ 6 is a low viscosity polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stock designed for use in synthetic lubricants across various applications, including passenger car engines, heavy-duty diesel engines, transmissions, and gear boxes. This product exhibits low temperature properties, low volatility, and enhanced thermal stability, making it suitable for demanding environments. The typical kinematic viscosity at 100¬8C is 5.8 cSt, with a viscosity index of 138, indicating good performance across temperature variations. The pour point is notably low at -71¬8F (-57¬8C), which supports optimal flow in cold conditions. Additionally, SpectraSyn,Ñ¢ 6 has a flash point of 475¬8F (246¬8C) and a Noack volatility of 6.4 wt%, contributing to reduced oil consumption. This PAO base stock is characterized by its bright and clear appearance, with a specific gravity of 0.827. It is compliant with NSF standards for incidental food contact, making it versatile for various industrial applications. Overall, SpectraSyn,Ñ¢ 6 is a reliable choice for engineers seeking a high-performance synthetic lubricant base stock.
Available in viscosity ranges between 2 to 10 cSt at 100°C, SpectraSyn™ Lo Vis (Low Viscosity) PAO (polyalphaolefins) are used to formulate synthetic lubricants and for upgrading mineral oil base stocks.
Formulators add SpectraSyn Lo Vis PAO to mineral oils to gain better low-temperature properties, low volatility and improved thermal stability. They can also be combined with SpectraSyn™ Hi Vis PAO, SpectraSyn Elite™ mPAO and Synesstic™ AN (Alkylated Naphthalene) Blendstocks to formulate cross-grade engine and automotive gear oils, as well as various ISO VG industrial oils.
