Gas Turbine Engine Lubricants

Gas turbine technology continues to evolve with a desire for increased levels of production efficiency, and of course business critical cost savings. Whilst technological advances are being made in the gas turbine industry, the primary challenge in gas turbine lubrication remains unchanged; sustained performance whilst being exposed to high temperatures. Such demands present a challenge to the gas turbine lubricant formulator who seeks components that feature excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance to address these severe operating conditions.

Croda has developed a range of Priolube™ branded esters that possess the performance capability to withstand the high temperature aspect of this application, and can also offer significant benefits including:

• Improved system protection
• Good deposit control
• High temperature stability
• Reliable system operation
• Excellent wear and corrosion protection
• Low volatility characteristics
• Excellent load carrying properties

If you are looking for superior performance over conventional lubricants, look no further than Croda's range of petrochemical di-esters and saturated polyol esters.
