Vinyl lubricant

Ethylene can be used to synthesize lubricant base oils in a single step; for example, Zhongke Kangrun’s ETO technology for the one-step synthesis of lubricant base oils is a world first. Its performance advantages are as follows: – High viscosity index: The viscosity index of ETO is comparable to or even better than that of similar PAO products, enabling it to maintain good lubrication properties over a wide temperature range. It does not thicken at low temperatures nor become too thin at high temperatures, thus effectively reducing wear on equipment under various operating conditions. – Low pour point: ETO has an excellent pour point, allowing it to flow well at low temperatures. It can reach the lubrication points quickly in cold environments, reducing wear and energy consumption during cold starts and ensuring proper operation of equipment in low-temperature conditions. – Good colority: ETO products have excellent colority, indicating high purity and low levels of impurities. This helps to reduce the formation of carbon deposits and sludge, keeping the equipment clean, extending its service life, and improving its operational efficiency. – Strong oxidation stability: ETO possesses good antioxidant properties, enabling it to resist oxidation and degradation under harsh conditions such as high temperatures and pressures. This extends the lifespan of lubricants, reduces the frequency of oil changes, and improves the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of equipment maintenance. – Low production cost: The utilization rate of ethylene in the ETO synthesis process is very high, exceeding 97%, whereas the utilization rate of ethylene in PAO production is less than 40%. As a result, the production cost of ETO is significantly lower than that of PAO, which helps to reduce the cost of lubricants and enhance their market competitiveness.

Hello! Ethylene can indeed be used to synthesize base oils for lubricants, primarily by polymerization into polyalpha-olefins (PAO), which are a type of base oil used in synthetic lubricants. Compared to traditional mineral oil lubricants, PAO lubricants exhibit better thermal stability, low-temperature flow properties, and antioxidant capacity. This technology has been widely applied in the production of high-performance lubricants. If you have further interest in specific production processes or applications, we can explore them in more depth. .

Would you like to take a look at the process descriptions related to PAO?

I’m very interested in this. Is there any information on the manufacturing process or something like that?
