High Temperature Chain Oils

We are a leading supplier of synthetic base oils for use in many high temperature chain oil applications including conveyor systems, stenter frames for textiles, food processing, plastic film stretching, fibre board manufacturing, ceramics and many more. 

Correct lubrication of the chains is essential to prevent excessive wear, which can lead to chain lengthening and erratic travel, increased power consumption and a reduction in lubricant adhesion to the chains. It is also important to avoid residue build up which can lead to maintenance problems in terms of time and cost.

Use of our high temperature chain oil esters can provide the end user with a number of benefits, including: 
  • Financial savings due to reduced lubricant consumption
  • Cost savings through reduced power consumption 
  • Improved productivity through reduced down-time for repairs 
  • Lower maintenance costs

Tailoring your lubricant to its specific operating environment is crucial. Compared to conventional mineral oils, trimellitates and polyalphaolefins (PAOs) base stock, our PriolubeTM esters can provide special performance characteristics including: 

  • Formulation of lubricants in the viscosity range 68 – 320 mm²/s  
  • High oxidative stability 
  • Low volatility below 250°C 
  • Low deposit formation upon decomposition to prevent build up on chains 
  • Excellent lubricity

The Thermogravimetric (TGA) test measures the changes in a product sample's weight through a constant or increase in temperature with respect to time. Here the Priolube esters hold stable at 100% composition until 260 °C, at which oxidation and evaporation occurs as the temperature increases.

TGA graph
The Oven Dish test requires an anti-oxidant pack and shows the propensity of lubricants to decompose and form residues. After 8 hours, when the dishes are allowed to drain, the residues remaining are weighed and characterised. The trimelitate ester, mineral oil and PAO 40 have very high levels of solid lacquer residues, yet the Priolube esters remain viscous liquids that are not harmful (shown in the images below). 

Our Emkarox™ VG/W PAG grades also volatilise at high temperatures to leave no sticky residues. They are excellent base oils for solid lubricant dispersions that experience temperatures above 600°C.

Ester Base Oils

Specifically for high temperature applications, these esters provide stability up to 260°C and exhibit clean decomposition above this temperature; outperforming conventional mineral oils, trimellitates and PAO base oils.
