PAO Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Polyalphaolefin (PAO) is a synthetic hydrocarbon fluid used as a base oil in high-performance lubricants. PAOs are known for their excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and superior lubricating properties, making them ideal for automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications. They provide outstanding performance in extreme temperatures, reducing friction and wear on mechanical components. PAOs are also resistant to oxidation and degradation, ensuring long service life and consistent performance. Due to their synthetic nature, PAOs can be tailored to specific requirements, offering versatility and reliability in various demanding environments.
