Neopentyl glycol dioleate

Neopentyl glycol dioleate (CAS 42222-50-4) is a diester of neopentyl glycol and oleic acid; a synthetic base fluid and functional additive in high-performance lubricant formulations.

Where is Neopentyl glycol dioleate used?

• Automotive and industrial lubricant blending: synthetic base oil component or co-base fluid in gear oils, compressor oils and hydraulic fluids for improved viscosity retention
• Aerospace and defense: aircraft turbine oils and specialty greases needing oxidative stability under extended service
• Polymer processing: plasticizer for flexibility and processability in elastomer and synthetic rubber compounds
• Metalworking fluids: lubricity additive in cutting and forming fluids to reduce tool wear and improve surface finish
• Its ester structure delivers strong lubricity and thermal stability.

Good to know: Store in a cool, dry environment to maintain the chemical integrity of the ester.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade for industrial and lubricant applications, meeting standard commercial purity requirements
• Packaging: drums to intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), depending on order volume
