Description:

Starting with the HT Purity Process, which removes virtually all the undesirable polar and aromatic compounds, Petro-Canada’s PARAFLEX HT Process Fluids are composed essentially of saturated hydrocarbons. They are recommended for use as raw materials in the manufacture of a wide range of chemicals, elastomers, and other specialty products.

Compared to competitive process oils, PARAFLEX HT Process Fluids* are 99.9% pure saturated hydrocarbon mixtures that are crystal clear and have very low toxicity. They offer:

• Outstanding oxidative and thermal stability in the presence of a minimal amount of inhibitor

• Crystal clear appearance

• Very low aromatic levels…less than 0.5%

• Very low toxicity

• Excellent separation from water

* PARAFLEX HT 3 and 5 are produced in a single stage hydrocracking process. As a result they are higher in aromatic levels (1-5%).

Features & Benefits:

• Outstanding Oxidative and Thermal Stability in the presence of a minimal amount of inhibitor

• Lubricant formulations possible with oxidation resistance 3 to 5 times greater than competitive solvent refined oils

• Give very low carbon residues

• High Viscosity Index, with excellent response to VI Improver and Pour Point Depressant additives

• Lower VI Improver treatment rates required in engine oil formulations

• Lubricant Pour Points lowered by as much as 20ºC

• Exceptional low temperature properties

• Very Light and Clear Colour

• Excellent light stability in the presence of a UV stabilizer

• Ideal for compounding light coloured materials, such as plastics, rubber and inks

• Very Low Aromatic Levels

• PARAFLEX HT Fluids are virtually nontoxic

Applications:

Because of their carefully controlled hydrocarbon contents, Petro-Canada PARAFLEX HT Fluids are recommended for use as raw materials in the manufacture of a range of industrial products including:

• Lubricants, • Chemicals, • Rubber & Plastics, • Leather, • Adhesives, • Polishes, • Plate Glass / Glass Wool
