Product Description
INTRODUCTION
Petro-Canada’s PARAFLEX HT process oils are carefully controlled blends of paraffinic base oils produced by removing undesirable polar and aromatic compounds. They are recommended for use as manufacturing aids or as raw materials in a wide range of chemicals, elastomers, and other specialty products.
Compared to competitive process oils, PARAFLEX HT Process Fluids* are 99.9% pure saturated hydrocarbon mixtures that are crystal clear and have very low toxicity. They offer:
• Outstanding oxidative and thermal stability
• Crystal clear appearance
• Very low aromatic levels*
• Very low toxicity
• Excellent separation from water
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Outstanding Oxidative and Thermal Stability
• Formulations possible with oxidation resistance 3 to 5 times greater than competitive solvent refined oils
• Low carbon residue under stress High Viscosity Index, with excellent response to VI Improver and Pour Point Depressant additives
• Pour Points lowered by as much as 20°C
• Exceptional low temperature properties Crystal clear and very light in color
• Excellent light stability in the presence of a UV stabilizer
• Ideal for compounding light colored materials, such as plastics, rubber and inks
• Low risk of staining Very Low Aromatic Levels
• PARAFLEX HT Fluids are virtually non-toxic
• Low aromatics ensure color and oxidative stability
APPLICATIONS
