NYNAS LAUNCH NYNAS® BT 22, A NEW BASE OIL FOR METALWORKING AND LUBRICANTS APPLICATIONS
NYNAS has launched a new base oil; NYNAS® BT 22 which is the latest to be added to the Nynas portfolio. NYNAS® BT 22 is a highly refined base oil, with an optimised viscosity index (VI) for maximum cooling and to facilitate the blending with other base oils.
“The low temperature performance of NYNAS® BT 22 is an improvement versus existing products at a similar viscosity,” says Dr Gaia Franzolin, Nynas Global Marketing Manager.
NYNAS® BT 22 base oil is said to have been developed to fulfil the increased demand for a grade with high naphthenic character. The new product is versatile enough to perform in stable emulsions and as a viscosity correction fluid in various lubricant applications.
“The emulsion stability of NYNAS® BT 22 is excellent because of its high naphthenic carbon type content (Cn) and suitable aniline point,” adds Professor Thomas Norrby, Senior Specialist Lubricants at NYNAS. “NYNAS® BT 22 will find its place in metalworking fluids formulations such as emulsion coolants for metalworking operations with chip removal, which involve cutting, drilling, milling and turning. NYNAS® BT 22 performs well in industrial lubricant applications including hydraulic fluids and greases.”
NYNAS® BT 22 offers several advantages over paraffinic oils, such as excellent low-temperature properties and superior solvency. The product can be blended with other types of base oils to increase, or reduce, viscosity and improve the solvency of the blends.
“Remaining committed to providing consistent and high-quality specialty naphthenic oils worldwide, we are making NYNAS® BT 22 available on a global basis through our extensive supply and distribution network,” concludes Dr. Franzolin.
