Polyalphaolefins


ExxonMobil Chemical is the world’s only manufacturer of both low and high viscosity polyalphaolefins (PAO) which enables you to work with a single source manufacturer to handle all of your worldwide distribution needs. With commercial viscosity grades ranging from 2 cSt to 100 cSt and High Viscosity Index (VI) products up to 1000 cSt, we provide our customers the flexibility to formulate and meet the most extreme requirements.

Our SpectraSyn, SpectraSyn Plus and SpectraSyn Ultra PAO provide superior lubrication for such applications as passenger car engine oils, drive line lubricants, industrial machinery and heavy-duty truck engines. Used in conjunction with our Esterex ester basestocks and and Synesstic alkylated naphthalene blendstocks, PAO are the major component of worldwide synthetic engine oils.

Synthetic lubricants formulated with SpectraSyn, SpectraSyn Plus and SpectraSyn Ultra PAO provide the following benefits:
  • Extended drain intervals
  • Improved fuel economy
  • Enhanced wear protection
  • Wide ranges of temperature operation


Since PAO-based products significantly outperform mineral oil and enhanced mineral oil (Group III) based products, we can provide you with a superior PAO that will solve your specific lubricant needs.

High VI PAO
Through a proprietary patented technology of ExxonMobil, we've developed High VI PAO (see recommended grades, SpectraSyn Ultra PAO) PAO typically used at low treat rates to balance the viscometrics, shear stability and low temperature properties of a lubricant. Its viscosity ranges between 150 to 1,000 cSt at 100° C, and it mixes completely with conventional PAO, esters and mineral oils. Used in engine oils, automatic transmission fluids, gear oil greases, hydraulic oils and other specialized applications, this High VI product has the following features:
  • Improved wear protection in many lubricating regimes.
  • A viscosity index that is 35-40 units higher compared to conventional PAO of the same viscosity grade.
  • A pour point that is 10-20° C lower than conventional PAO of the same viscosity grade.
  • An increase of synergistic VI when blended with mineral and synthetic basestocks
