Base fluids

For over 50 years, KING Industries has been a leader in the alkylation of naphthalenes, and today KING is the producer of  the world’s broadest line of alkylated naphthalene synthetic fluids. Designated the NA-LUBE KR Series, these products are the ideal choice for use as base stocks to meet the industry’s highest performance standards where high temperatures degrade petroleum based products or as modifiers for non-polar base stocks, such as Group II oils, Group III oils, and PAO’s. NA-LUBE KR Series can help formulators meet today’s ever-increasing demands placed on lubricants. This includes three new NSF HX-1 registered products that meet the requirements for incidental food contact as prescribed by FDA 21 CFR 178.3570. NA-LUBE KR alkylated naphthalenes provide superior thermo-oxidative stability, excellent hydrolytic stability, and greater film thickness compared to alternative base fluids.
They are available in a viscosity range of 4 to 20 mm²/s @ 100°C.

Fatty esters meet the most stringent requirements of the lubricants industry. They are used as lubricity improvers in applications like steel, copper and aluminum rolling. Furthermore they are used in neat oils and emulsions for cutting, grinding and drilling operations. Ester base stocks for industrial gear oils, meeting technical requirements of many standards and specifications. For greases ester base stocks contribute improved cold flow properties, lower volatility, good thermal stability, low noise level, good air release and water separation. Esters are used in a wide range of environmental lubricants. Taking  the chemistry of esters into account and as well as the raw materials used, many esters are eligible for Ecolabel registration.
