Request SDS →Polyalphaolefin (CAS 68037-01-4) is a synthetic hydrocarbon base fluid produced by oligomerizing alpha-olefins. It is used as a synthetic base oil for lubricants, including engine oils, gear oils, greases, and compressor and hydraulic fluids.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is polyalphaolefin used for?
Polyalphaolefin (PAO, CAS 68037-01-4) is a synthetic hydrocarbon base fluid used as a synthetic base oil for lubricants — including engine oils, gear oils, greases, and compressor and hydraulic fluids — and as a viscosity modifier. RawSource supplies it as an industrial base stock.
How is polyalphaolefin made?
PAO is produced by oligomerizing alpha-olefins (linking short olefin molecules into longer synthetic hydrocarbon chains), then hydrogenating the product to form a stable synthetic base fluid. CAS is 68037-01-4, HS code 3902.90.
What grades of PAO does RawSource supply?
PAO base fluids are graded by viscosity (commonly designated by their approximate kinematic viscosity in cSt at 100°C). Specify your target viscosity grade and application so the right base stock can be matched, and request the CoA.
How is PAO packaged for bulk supply?
RawSource supplies PAO base fluid in drums, IBC totes, and bulk by viscosity grade. Confirm grade and packaging with your rep, and request the SDS and CoA for documentation.
What is the cost of bulk polyalphaolefin?
Bulk PAO pricing depends on viscosity grade, packaging, and volume. RawSource quotes drum, tote, and bulk loads — request a current quote with your target grade and quantity.
