Group V Synthetic Fluids

Group V base oils encompass other synthetic base oils beyond PAO, including synthetic esters, Polyalkylene Glycols (PAG), alkyl naphthalene (AN), fluorinated oils, and silicone oils.

Synthetic esters, produced via esterification reactions, fall under API Group V. They exhibit low volatility, high flash points, excellent thermal-oxidative stability, and their low toxicity and ready biodegradability align with green, low-carbon development needs. Esters can be used alone or blended with other base oils to enhance performance and extend equipment protection. Subtypes include monoesters, diesters, polyol esters, and complex esters, widely used in high-end engine oils, aviation oils, industrial oils, compressor oils, greases, and metalworking fluids.

Alkyl naphthalene are high-performance Group V synthetic base oils used primarily in high-end engine oils, industrial oils, and grease formulations to enhance the performance of both synthetic and mineral lubricants in automotive and industrial applications.

Polyalkylene Glycols (PAG) are unique synthetic base oils characterized by high oxygen content and strong detergency. Classified into water-insoluble, water-soluble, and oil-soluble types based on structure, they are widely used in industrial gear oils, hydraulic fluids, turbine oils, compressor oils, refrigerant oils, racing oils, transmission fluids, and greases.

Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE), composed solely of carbon, fluorine, and oxygen, are colorless, odorless, chemically inert, thermally stable, and non-flammable. Initially used in military and aerospace applications, fluorinated oils and greases now serve as specialty lubricants in aerospace, electronics, nuclear, chemical, automotive, textile, and packaging industries for high-temperature, acid/base-resistant, and radiation-resistant applications. Fluorinated fluids are used in semiconductor manufacturing processes, precision cleaning, lubrication, protective coatings, and temperature control.

Silicone oils, linear polyorganosiloxanes with a repeating Si-O backbone and organic side groups, are versatile synthetic base oils and lubricants used as transformer oils, damping fluids, hydraulic transmission fluids, vacuum diffusion pump oils, heat transfer fluids, textile agents, release agents, and various silicone greases.

Leveraging Group IV and V base oils and advanced additive technology, TPI provides a variety of specialty synthetic lubricants. Compared to mineral oil-based products, these synthetics not only offer superior lubrication but also excel in heat transfer, power transmission, electrical insulation, corrosion prevention, and performance under gas dilution or nuclear radiation, playing irreplaceable roles in specific applications.

TPI's synthetic lubricants include:
