Research Summary

Poly alpha olefin (PAO) is a synthetic hydrocarbon polymer derived from the polymerization of alpha olefins, which are terminal olefins or alpha-olefins with a double bond at the primary or alpha carbon. PAOs are characterized by their high purity, low volatility, and excellent thermal stability. They are commonly used as base oils in the formulation of synthetic lubricants due to their superior lubricating properties and resistance to oxidation and thermal breakdown. PAOs offer a wide temperature range of operation and exhibit low pour points, making them particularly suitable for applications in extreme conditions, such as in high-performance automotive engines and industrial machinery. The controlled molecular structure of PAOs allows for precise tailoring of their properties to meet specific lubrication requirements, providing enhanced wear protection, reduced friction, and improved overall lubricant performance.
