Polymethacrylate PMA
Poly Methyl Methacrylate is the synthetic polymer derived from methyl methacrylate. Being an engineering plastic, it is a transparent thermoplastic.
This additive is a potent pour point depressant of the polymethacrylate type, designed to give maximum pour point depression in a wide range of base oils. The product is used in both automotive and industrial lubricants.
For blended into lubricating base stocks imparts pour point depression extending the lubricants effective application temperature range. This pour point depressant is the most versatile product usable in all lubricants.
The recommended concentration for RXSOL Pour Point Dispersant is generally between 0.02 and 0.5% wt. with the exact dosage being determined by actual tests in the finished oil. Please contact your RX Chemical representative for specific recommendations.The treatment level would normally be expected to be in the region of 0.1 to 0.3%, though 0.5 to 1.0% can be required for some gear applications.
Key Performance Benefits
• Provides both viscosity index and pour point depressant characteristics.
• Can permit selection of less costly base stocks which have not received severe dewaxin.
