Abstract
Improved synthetic lubricants based on a 100% polyol ester composition suitable for use in high temperature static chain oil applications is provided. The lubricant includes a base stock based on a polyol ester that is the reaction product of a neopentyl polyol including a major proportion of dipentaerythritol and a mixture of C5 to C12 carboxylic acids. The preferred carboxylic acid mixture includes heptanoic (C7) acid, caprylic/capric (C8-10) acid and isononanoic (3, 5, 5-trimethylhyxanoic acid (iso-C9). The polyol base stock is mixed with an additive package that includes a viscosity index improver (tackifier), antioxidants, extreme pressure/antiwear agents and a corrosion inhibitor. The additive package may be added in up to about 20 percent by weight of the lubricant to provide a viscosity of the lubricant at 40° C. of at least about 275 cSt and at 100° C. of no less than about 25.0 cSt.
