A growing body of evidence now suggests that synthetic oils, hydraulic fluids and greases offer significant advantages over mineral-based products -- including measurable cost advantages. The reason? Read on... What are Synthetic Lubricants? A synthetic lubricant is a product made from a chemical reaction of two or more simpler chemical compounds, which is then "engineered" with the necessary performance additives. The base stocks comprising a synthetic lubricant are tailored through molecular restructuring to meet specific physical and chemical characteristics. There are a number of chemical compounds and elements which comprise the most common synthetics, but instead of a chemistry lesson, the most important points to remember are that they offer the following benefits when compared to "conventional" lubricants:
The up-front cost of most synthetic lubricants is higher than that of conventional mineral-oil products, so where do the dollar savings show up?
