|  | What Can Synthetics Do for You?
|
Synthetic lubricants:
• Work where mineral oils reach their limits
• Solve specific lubrication problems (e.g. to enable an under-designed
machine to operate properly)
• Provide enhanced cost and/or
performance (e.g. longer drain intervals and less downtime)
Key factors in your decision are the severity of service, any special
requirements and safety or environmental concerns. Imperial Oil's line of
synthetic lubricants, marketed mainly under the Mobil brand, can provide:
Longer oil drains
Thanks to their superior oxidation stability,
synthetic oils can last considerably longer than mineral lubricants. You'll
spend less time changing lubricants and money on used-oil disposal. Oxidation
stability also reduces the risk of harmful deposits on components. That means
fewer shutdowns for equipment maintenance and cleaning - a plus for your
production.
Energy savings
Compared to mineral
oils, whose molecules come in assorted shapes and sizes, synthetic-oil
molecules are relatively uniform. When they move against each other, it
creates less heat and friction. The cooler operating temperature is easier on
oil and equipment. Reducing friction can also significantly save energy,
further easing your costs of operation.
Severe-service
protection
Synthetics are ideal for applications involving shock
loads or other severe conditions. Unlike mineral oils, which often fail to
stand up against extreme pressure, synthetics retain their structure - along
with their ability to lubricate and guard against wear. That can save labor,
lubricant and equipment - and lower the risk of lost protection due to
breakdown.
Safe operation in temperature extremes
Synthetic oils are free of wax, which can solidify at low temperatures and
make mineral oils resistant to flow. Synthetics flow almost immediately - at
any temperature - to protect your components and save time on warm-ups.
Extreme heat? Synthetics resist the oxidation that causes some oils to leave
deposits. That can save you money on repairs and keep your production running
smoothly.
