STLE’s TLT November Issue: Read About VBASE SPE Technology

New Article Published: Exploring the Unique Features of Secondary Polyol Ester™ (SPE®) Base Oils

Article in the TLT Archives

We are excited to announce that VBASE Oil Company has been featured in the latest issue of Tribology & Lubrication Technology (TLT) by STLE! The article dives into the latest developments and data on our Secondary Polyol Ester™ (SPE®) base oils, offering insights into their unique molecular structure and performance characteristics.

Article Highlights:

In the article, we explore how SPE® base oils stand out due to their oxygen-rich molecular design, which can provide multiple functional benefits. Some of the key points include:

  • Oxidation stability: The high oxygen content in the ester structure enhances the oil’s resistance to oxidative degradation, which can lead to longer lubricant life and reduced maintenance costs.
  • Thermal management: The superior volumetric heat capacity of SPE base oils improves their ability to manage heat, making them suitable for high-temperature applications.
  • In-built detergency: The oxygen-rich design also results in inherent detergency, which can reduce deposit formation and improve equipment reliability.
  • Lower friction and wear: Due to their high polarity and excellent film-forming behavior, SPE® base oils offer superior protection against wear and reduce friction on ferrous surfaces.
  • Environmental benefits: These base oils are readily biodegradable, non-toxic, and feature high bio-carbon content, making them an environmentally friendly choice for modern lubricant formulations.

VBASE SPE® base oils are designed for modern tribological challenges, offering solutions that meet the growing demand for sustainability and performance in industrial lubricants.
