PAO8 is a synthetic Group IV base oil produced from polyalphaolefin technology. It has a kinematic viscosity of approximately 8 cSt at 100°C and is commonly used in synthetic lubricant formulations.
What Are the Typical Specifications of PAO8?
Property | Typical Value |
|---|---|
KV40 | 45-48 cSt |
KV100 | 8 cSt |
Viscosity Index | 135-145 |
Pour Point | <-60°C |
Flash Point | >240°C |
These properties provide good low-temperature performance and oxidation stability.
PAO8 is commonly used in:
Industrial gear oils
Compressor oils
Synthetic greases
Hydraulic fluids
Automotive lubricants
Its viscosity profile makes it suitable for medium-viscosity lubricant formulations.
PAO8 belongs to API Group IV because it is synthesized from alpha-olefin monomers rather than refined from crude oil.
Group IV oils generally provide:
Better oxidation stability
Lower volatility
Improved low-temperature performance
compared with conventional mineral oils.
PAO8 typically has a viscosity of approximately 8 cSt at 100°C.
Yes. PAO8 is a fully synthetic polyalphaolefin base oil.
Automotive, industrial manufacturing, wind power, compressors, and lubricant blending industries.
