About Synthetic Oils, Greases and Lubricants

Synthetic oils, greases and lubricants are based on compounds that consist of boron nitride (BN), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), esters, diesters, silicone, polyglycol or mixtures of synthetic fluids and water. Synthetic products are generally more expensive than non-synthetic fluids, but provide better fire resistance and cooling performance. The cost and heat transfer performance of semi-synthetic fluids falls between those of synthetic and soluble oil fluids. Some synthetic oils, greases and lubricants are used as circulating coolants, flood or mist coolants, insulating oils, lapping vehicles, lubricants, heat transfer fluids, or thermal oils. Others are used as grinding, metal working, metal forming, metal cutting, hydraulic, transmission, quenchant, or vacuum fluids. Base oils and additives are also available. High water content fluids (HWCF) and high water base fluids (HWBF) are used in applications where leakage is likely to cause ignition. Solid lubricants or dry film lubricants are designed to reduce friction, binding or wear; exclude water; or provide other specialized characteristics.

Products & Services Related to Synthetic Oils, Greases and Lubricants

Dielectric Greases and Insulating Fluids

Dielectric greases and insulating fluids are insulating oils, greases, transformer oils and fluids that have a high dielectric strength and are used in transformers, capacitors, EDM machining, and other electrical device applications.

Heat Transfer Fluids and Thermal Oils

Heat transfer fluids, thermal oils, circulating coolants, and heater liquids are used to carry thermal energy in process heating and machine cooling applications.

Hydraulic Oils and Transmission Fluids

Hydraulic oils and transmission fluids are used to transmit power in hydraulic equipment and power transmission applications.

Industrial Greases

Industrial greases are thickened gels that consist of natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic substances. They do not run off surfaces and are used in a variety of lubrication, sealing, and exclusion applications.

Industrial Lubricants

Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.

Metal Working Lubricants, Coolants and Fluids

Metal working lubricants, coolants and fluids are specialized coatings and carriers for metal forming, metal cutting, lapping, polishing, and grinding applications.

Solid and Dry Film Lubricants

Solid and dry film lubricants form a dry layer or coating that excludes moisture and reduces friction, binding, and wear. They often contain additives such as corrosion, oxidation, and rust inhibitors.
