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. The answer is here, the new generation synthetic oils and greases have many impressive qualities which make them better and more environmentally friendly than the more traditional lubrication methods. For your information we are pleased to mention just some of these advantages here:
Limitations - of Mineral Oils
	In considering practical applications, these are the sort of factors which must be considered in the choice of lubricant to determine whether such a lubricant 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
So Why Chose Anything Else?
