Synesstic,Ñ¢ 12 is an alkylated naphthalene synthetic fluid classified as an API Group V fluid, known for its enhanced hydrolytic, thermal, and oxidative stability compared to other fluids in the same category. It is particularly suitable for use as a blendstock in synthetic lubricant applications that demand high stability under extreme operating conditions. The product has a specific gravity of 0.887 and a kinematic viscosity of 12.4 cSt at 100¬8C, with a viscosity index of 105. Its pour point is -33¬8F (-36¬8C), and it has a high flash point of 496¬8F (258¬8C), indicating good thermal stability. The Noack volatility is low at 4.5 wt%, which contributes to its performance in high-temperature applications. Synesstic,Ñ¢ 12 is compatible with various elastomers, showing minimal volume and hardness changes in fluoroelastomers and nitrile, making it suitable for diverse sealing applications. It is also NSF H1 registered, indicating its suitability for incidental food contact. This product is available in multiple regions, including North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Available in high- and low-viscosity grades, Synesstic™ AN (Alkylated Naphthalene) base stocks are well-suited for lubricants in a variety of automotive and industrial applications. Lubricants formulated with Synesstic AN can be more stable and higher performing.
Synesstic AN is particularly suited for use as a base stock in synthetic lubricant applications that require high stability under extreme operating conditions. It is available for use as a lubricant base stock with incidental food contact.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Food Contact Notification filings, FCN 915 and 899, associated with the two Synesstic AN base stock fluids grades 5 cSt and 12 cSt, respectively. In addition, Synesstic AN base stock fluids are HX-1 National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) registered.
