Why SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS are better?  
 
Mineral Lubricants
Synthetic Lubricants

Jumbled up molecules having high intra molecular friction and lesser film strength
(Av. 500 psi)

Straight, uniform molecular shape and size giving lesser intra molecular friction and a good film strength (Min 3000 psi)

Carbonization of oil leads to greater wear and tear, greater power consumption , more lubricants required (A chain cycle)

No carbonization encountered therefore machine condition is better and lesser power consumption

Can with stand temperature upto 120 deg C Max. Some product can degrade at high temperatures.

Better resistance to thermal and oxidative breakdown means the oils can run effectively at temperature as high as 300 deg C

Poor cold temperature fluidity means more power is required to start up the machine to overcome friction caused due to freezing of oil. Wear and tear of machine parts likely to be the most during this stage.

Superior cold - temperature (sub zero) fluidity of synthetics reduces power consumed during machines startup. Lubricity Characteristics also protects the machines parts during start-up.


What benefits do you get
Lesser Power Consumed -upto 10 % power savings have been regularly reported
Lesser wear and tear.
No carbonaceous products - Machines are maintained in best conditions
Reduced Consumption of lubricant - The first fill of the lubricant last longer than any mineral product.
