Pentaerythritol Tetraoleate
Pentaerythritol TetraOleate (PTO) is a high-performance Group V polyol ester. It is widely used as a biodegradable synthetic base oil where excellent lubricity, thermal stability and high-temperature performance are required.
With its naturally high viscosity index, superior film strength and low volatility, PTO is an excellent choice for environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs), biodegradable hydraulic fluids, gear oils, greases and metalworking lubricants.
