ApplicationsSYNALOX* Fluids are used in a wide variety of applications. They provide superior lubricity, cleanliness and stability over conventional oils and lubricants. Select an application to learn more:Gear Oils Metalworking Fluids Compressors Mill & Calender Lubricants Two-Stroke Engines Hydraulic Fluids Greases Mold Release and Mandrel Lubricants Gear Oils Excellent friction modification properties coupled with high thermal stability and high viscosity index make SYNALOX* Fluids the right choice as base stocks for gear oils, especially for worm gears and gears sealed for life. Polyglycols provide the highest energy efficiency in gear oil applications. Also see UCON™ Fluids. Metalworking Fluids Water soluble SYNALOX* fluids are successfully used by formulators as the lubricity base for water soluble cutting and grinding fluids. Heat generated at a cutting tip or other machine tool can cause the polyglycol to come out of solution (inverse solubility) onto the metal surface providing a neat lubricant film. SYNALOX fluids are also used as lubricants in forming operations, such as drawing, stamping, and rolling. Also see UCON Fluids. Dow Polypropylene glycols are also used in metalworking in North America, Latin America and Europe. Compressors SYNALOX* Fluids are used extensively as base fluids for compressor lubricants in various applications such as ethylene, natural gas, hydrogen, vinyl chloride, ammonia, helium and nitrogen. The success of SYNALOX Fluids in such applications is due to their adaptable solubility properties, excellent lubricity, high thermal stability and resistance to sludge and varnish formation. Also see UCON Fluids. Mill & Calender Lubricants SYNALOX* Fluids are the preferred lubricant base stocks for high temperature, large-scale mills and calenders employed in the rubber, textile, paper, and plastic industries, due to their ashless burning characteristics coupled with high temperature stability and excellent lubrication properties. Also see UCON Fluids. Two-Stroke Engines Water insoluble SYNALOX* Fluids are uniquely adapted for use with air cooled two-stroke engines. The clean burn-off characteristics of SYNALOX Fluids virtually eliminate engine problems related to spark plug fouling, exhaust port plugging, and combustion chamber deposits. SYNALOX Fluids are the preferred lubricant base stock for model engines. Also see UCON Fluids. Hydraulic Fluids SYNALOX* Fluids feature excellent lubricity and performance characteristics for use as industrial hydraulic fluids for equipment that must operate over a wide temperature range such as year-round outdoor use or high temperature applications. Specific SYNALOX Fluids feature improved environmental properties (biodegradation and aquatic toxicity) over standard petroleum based fluids. Also see UCON Fluids. In Europe, see Dow Polypropylene Glycols and Copolymers Greases Superior greases can be made with SYNALOX* Fluids. These greases, highly adaptable for the extreme applications of high and low temperature— as well as for standard uses, are characterized by the excellent properties of the base fluid. The solubility range of SYNALOX Fluids permits the formulation of water soluble or hydrocarbon-resistant greases. Also see UCON Fluids. Mold Release and Mandrel Lubricants SYNALOX* Fluids, with their negligible solvent and swelling effects on most natural and synthetic rubber compositions, as well as their excellent lubricity, are ideally suited as anti-stick, coating, and parting agents for the rubber industry. Water soluble SYNALOX Fluids are especially used, as they can be easily rinsed off with water.
