What Is mPAO?

mPAO is a Group IV synthetic base oil produced using metallocene catalyst technology. Compared with conventional PAO, it can provide higher viscosity index, lower volatility, and enhanced low-temperature performance.

Why Was mPAO Developed?

Lubricant formulators increasingly require:

• Higher efficiency

• Lower volatility

• Improved durability

• Better low-temperature operation

mPAO was developed to address these requirements.

What Are the Typical Benefits of mPAO?

High Viscosity Index

Supports lubricant performance across a wide temperature range.

Low Volatility

Can help reduce oil consumption and evaporative loss.

Excellent Oxidation Stability

Suitable for long-drain lubricant applications.

Low Temperature Fluidity

Useful in cold operating environments.

What Industries Use mPAO?

• Automotive Lubricants

• Industrial Lubricants

• Wind Energy

• EV Fluids

• Compressor Oils

• Synthetic Greases
