DURASYN LOW VISCOSITY (LOW VIS) POLYALPHAOLEFINS
INEOS Oligomers is the world's largest merchant marketer of polyalphaolefins (PAO) synthetic fluids under the trade name Durasyn.
INEOS has Durasyn® PAO production plants in LaPorte (Texas, USA) and in Feluy (Belgium). Both sites are integrated with INEOS' linear alpha olefin (LAO) product line, which provides the feedstock for the production of Durasyn fluids.
The INEOS polyalphaolefin business has a global presence, with regional commercial teams located throughout the U.S. , Europe and Asia. We employ a highly experienced technical group, an experienced and professional network of local sales staff and local distributors to assure true global reach.
Durasyn polyalphaolefins (PAOs) are produced by oligomerizing alpha olefins (1-olefins) in the presence of an acidic catalyst to a mixture of olefin dimers, trimers, tetramers and higher oligomers (*approximate structures shown below). In the final step, these oligomers are hydrogenated to produce a fully saturated hydrocarbon mixture. These hydrogenated oligomers are additionally fractionated to produce our Durasyn low viscosity products with viscosities from 2 mm2/s at 100°C to 10 mm2/s at 100°C. For any additional technical information, please email us at durasyn@ineos.com.
