POLYOLESTER (POE) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Polyolester (POE) oils are synthetic lubricants derived from polyols and fatty acids, used primarily in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They offer excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and high lubricity, making them suitable for use with modern, environmentally friendly refrigerants. POE oils are also used in automotive and industrial applications, providing superior performance in high-temperature and high-load conditions. Proper handling requires the use of protective gloves and goggles to avoid skin and eye contact. Storage should be in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption, which can degrade the oil's performance. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination. POE oils are valued for their compatibility with various refrigerants, excellent lubrication properties, and ability to enhance the efficiency and longevity of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
