Comprehensive Analysis of Polyether Base Oils

Polyether base oil is a synthetic base oil, mainly produced through the polymerization reaction of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO). Depending on the polymerization method and end groups, its water solubility, oil solubility, viscosity and other performance indicators can be adjusted. PAG base oil is different from traditional mineral oil and PAO synthetic oil. Its structure contains ether bonds (-O -) and adjustable hydrophilic/hydrophobic segments, which endow it with high polarity, high-temperature stability, low carbon deposition and other properties.

Polyether base oils can mainly be classified into the following categories:

Water-soluble polyether: With a high proportion of EO, it is suitable for water-ethylene glycol hydraulic fluids, metalworking fluids, etc. 

Oil-soluble polyether: PO proportion high or terminal base treatment, often used to compressor oil, chain oil etc.

 

Typical application fields

High temperature chain oil, such as textile setting machine, drying oven, gas compressor oil (applicable to the special gas such as ammonia, CO ), refrigeration compressor oil viscosity at low temperature (do well), food grade lubricants (NSF H1 level products are widely used PAG), base oil, metalworking fluids, water - glycol hydraulic oil, high load industrial gear lubrication.

 

Summary of the advantages of polyether base oil

High performance stability, even in high temperature and high shear environment can keep lubricating film. 

Good environmental protection: part of the model is biodegradable, green pollution-free. 

Clean run: carbon deposition rarely, lower maintenance costs.

Molecular structure of adjustable: flexible, meet the demand of customized. 

Fit the special conditions: applicable to the extreme temperature, contact with food and other sensitive scenarios. 

 

We provide a variety of types of polyether base oil, viscosity range, model complete, welcome the advisory cooperation.
