SYNESSTIC 5

Product Details

​Synesstic 5 Alkylated Naphthalene(AN) is a proven API category Group V base fluid that can be used to extend the performance of many automotive and industrial lubricants. NSF HX-1 registered for incidental food contact.
Synesstic 5 provides excellent oxidative stability and enhances the oxidative stability of Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV base oils (per rotary pressure vessel oxidation test results).

Compared to esters, Synesstic 5 improves the oxidative performance in PAO-based formulations. Additionally, Synesstic 5 improves the hydrolytic stability in a formulated oil. Synesstic provides excellent additive solvency on par with esters for polar compounds as a result of its aromatic structure. Synesstic 5 shows reduced seal swell compared to esters, but none of the seal shrinkage associated with PAOs. Synesstic 5 can enable greater additive effectiveness compared to esters because Synesstic 5 does not compete with additives for the metal surface; highly polar esters compete with additives for the metal surface.

Synesstic 5 shows improved high temperature life performance compared to PAO grease.
