Miscellaneous Information

Over the years scientists and technologists have spent a great deal of time, money and effort, attempting to find a solution to the problems of using mineral-based hydrocarbon lubricants. In PLM's products, the new generation synthetic oils and greases have many impressive qualities that make them better and more environmentally friendly than the more traditional lubrication methods. We have listed some of those advantages here:

Limitations of Mineral Oils

In considering practical applications, the following factors must be considered in the choice of lubricant to determine whether such a product will impose unreasonable restraints on the required performance and operation of the mechanical device:

  • Limits on high temperature performance
    These include: high volatility at elevated temperatures; flammability; no resistance to thermal degradation leading to gumming; varnishing; and ultimately to carbonisation.
     
  • Low temperature performance is poor
    Even with additives (pour point depressants), they are limited in the minimum temperature at which they can operate.
     
  • Oxidation stability limits
    Stability is not good in the presence of metals. Oxidation of mineral oils often leads to staining and chemical attack of metals, particularly high copper containing alloys.
     
  • Solvent and chemical resistance
    Mineral oils in general have only limited ability to withstand solvents or to operate in aggressive environments.

Advantages of Synthetics

While the performance of mineral oils can be enhanced by the use of chemical additives, they have certain inherent disadvantages. Synthetic lubricants are blended from specially selected base fluids, which provide superior lubrication properties.

  • High lubricity
    They have high lubricity, excellent shear stability and will not break down or harden through prolonged use.
     
  • Will not degrade
    They are extremely stable at elevated temperatures and will not degrade to form harmful gum and carbon residues.
     
  • Wide range of temperatures
    They operate in the widest temperature ranges and demonstrate superior adhesion and cohesion properties.
     
  • Chemically inert
    They are chemically inert and compatible with most engineering materials.
     
  • Clean and odourless
    They have superior dielectric properties. They are clean, odourless, non-toxic and water resistant.
