LUBRICATING OILS (SYNTHETIC BASE) Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Synthetic lubricating oils, also known as synthetic base oil lubricants or synthetic engine and industrial oils, are high performance lubricants formulated from engineered chemical compounds rather than conventional petroleum bases. These oils provide excellent lubrication, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance in demanding industrial and automotive applications. Synthetic oils are commonly used in equipment operating under extreme temperatures or heavy loads. In systems containing O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components, compatibility should be evaluated to ensure proper sealing and prevent swelling of certain rubber materials. Proper handling, storage, and maintenance practices help ensure reliable performance and long service life.
