MOLYKOTE^® polyalphaolefin-based lubricants

Polyalphaolefin (PAO) fluids are the most common major synthetic base oil used in industrial and automotive lubricants. These synthetic hydrocarbons are designed to provide superior lubrication performance over a wider operating-temperature range than petroleum oils and typically are less volatile.

PAO-based lubricants generally resist creep and water washout and offer good lubricity across a variety of substrate material pairings, including metal-to-metal and metal-to-plastic. With the powerful combination of MOLYKOTE^® Specialty Lubricants and DuPont™ Polymers, our understanding of grease-polymer compatibility allows our customers the unique ability to select products faster and move through validations with confidence.
