Product Highlights

Diesters are low to medium viscosity synthetic base stocks that have two ester groups. Most diesters are made from a dibasic acid combined with monofunctional alcohols, while a polyol diester is made from a synthetic glycol and monofunctional acids.

Diesters are known for outstanding low temperature properties, lubricity and solvency. The polar ester groups provide excellent high temperature stability and low temperature fluidity. When comparing diesters to hydrocarbon oils and other synthetics with the same viscosity, a diester fluid will have a higher flash point, lower volatility and better thermal stability. Diesters improve additive solubility and seal conditioning, while offering natural high viscosity index thats boosts lubrication efficiency. Synthetic esters have a long history of use in aviation jet engine lubricants due to their combination of oxidative stability, low volatility and high viscosity index. Aviation turbine engine bearings demand fluidity at extreme low temperatures and lubrication film strength under high shear and high temperature conditions. Esters have been proven to deliver long life, low deposit formation and reliable lubrication under the most extreme operating conditions.
