SYNALOX Water Insoluble Base Stocks

PO Homopolymers

SYNALOX* Water Insoluble Lubricant Base Stocks are homopolymers of propylene oxide. This family of polyglycols is insoluble in water, but is not compatible with mineral oils. Water Insoluble SYNALOX Fluids are particularly used as base stocks in industrial gear oils, mill, and calender lubricants. Dow offers an extensive viscosity range of SYNALOX Water Insoluble Fluid grades from ISO 32 to 680.
