The best base oil - Alkylated Naphthalene

Описание к видео The best base oil - Alkylated Naphthalene

Most people tend to think that polyalphaolefins are the top of the tree when it comes to base oils. But PAOs are so non-polar that they often encounter issues with additive solvency and varnish deposition, which necessitates a co-basestock in finished lubricants.

Esters on the other hand, are so polar that they suffer from hydrolytic instability, are hygroscopic, and sometimes out-compete lubricant additives at metal surfaces.

Alkylated Napthalenes are the "third way" lubricant - the best of both worlds.
