2. Lubricants and Their Additives
What are Synthetic Lubricants?
What Additives are in Synthetic
Lubricants?
How do these lubricants and their
additives enhance machine
performance and reliability?
3. What are Synthetic Lubricants?
Chemically Engineered
Absence of Sulfur and Paraffin (no burning or
charring)
“Pure” stock, Friction reduction, High Temp.
Design-ability, Versatility
4. Synthetic Additive
Viscoplex 12-115
Synthetic Polymer Additive
Higher Shear Stability
More consistent viscosity
Wide Temperature Range
3)These Lubricants are chemically engineered and manufactured with “pure” components to eliminate “sludge”, which is a commonly occurring problem in refined petroleum lubricants. Sludge is caused by paraffin's and sulfur that are naturally found in petroleum, and absent in synthetics
polyalkyl methacrylate. This additive allows Automatic transmission and motorcycle transmission lubricants that are made of highly refined petroleum oil to operate like synthetic lubricants, with reduced wear to their high heat and friction components (i.e. clutch plates and pressure plates). This additive increases the lubricants shear force stability in addition to allowing the lubricant to maintain a consistent viscosity through a wider range of temperatures, as compared to conventional petroleum oils. Cousins of ViscoPlex 12-115 are compatible with synthetic lubricants.
