Poly Alpha Olefin (PAO)

Poly alpha olefin (PAO) is colorless liquids with well-defined, wax-free isoparaffinic structures. Poly alpha olefins have a complex branched structure with an olefin bond in the alpha position of one of the branches. Hydrogenated poly alpha olefins have olefin-carbons saturated with hydrogen, which lends excellent thermal stability to the molecule. It is widely used in automotive and industrial fields.
