Product Description
Polyol Ester (POE) is a polyol-ester (poe) group v synthetic base oil. It offers a high viscosity index, low volatility and excellent oxidation and thermal stability as a premium base stock for blending high-performance engine oils, driveline fluids and industrial lubricants. Typical physical properties are listed below for formulation reference.
Key Performance Features
| Outstanding thermal stability
ester chemistry withstands very high temperatures with low deposits. |
High solvency / detergency
polar esters keep engines clean and solubilise additives and deposits. |
| Low volatility & high flash
very low evaporation and high flash point for high-temperature use. |
Excellent lubricity
strong boundary lubricity and film strength. |
| Seal-conditioning & biodegradable
conditions seals and offers good biodegradability. |
Performance co-base stock
blends with PAO/GTL to boost solvency and thermal performance. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Blending of high-performance synthetic and semi-synthetic engine oils, transmission and gear fluids, greases and industrial lubricants requiring a Group V (POE ester) base stock. |
| Specification | API Group V Base Oil (Ester) — base-oil group classification for this stock. High viscosity index — high VI for multigrade and wide-temperature formulations. Low volatility (Noack) — low evaporation loss for low oil consumption. Oxidation & thermal stability — stable base for long-life finished lubricants. Blending compatibility — compatible with additive systems and co-base stocks. |
| OEM Suitability | Lubricant formulators blending synthetic and semi-synthetic finished lubricants. Validate the finished-oil formulation and performance before production. |
| Important Notice | This is a blending feedstock for formulators, not a finished lubricant. Confirm suitability and treat rates for the target formulation. ”Suitable for” does not imply a finished-oil approval. |
