Mobil Synturion 6 has been developed for the demanding application of barrier/buffer fluid for mechanical seals. The greatest enemies of mechanical seals are excessive surface temperatures and the resulting formation of hard deposits that further increase heat and friction. These factors can shorten seal life, potentially leading to product contamination and costly equipment downtime. Synturion 6 is specifically formulated to prevent premature seal failure. Its excellent thermal stability, low internal friction and heat transfer properties protect against excessive heat buildup and seal surfaces. Additionally, its proprietary additive package is designed to resist degradation and the subsequent formation of deposits. Thermal and Oxidation Stability: In laboratory testing, Synturion 6 demonstrated significantly superior oxidation life and corrosion protection when compared with leading competitive products. The exceptional stability of Synturion 6 is particularly advantageous where hot process fluids can stress the lubricant, ensuring reliable performance at sustained high operating temperatures. In field tests, Synturion 6 has shown excellent resistance to reactive and corrosive process components such as H2S and acids. Food Grade Applications: The proprietary formulation of Synturion 6 meets the demanding criteria of FDA 21 CFR 178.3620 for incidental contact with food, allowing it to be used in food product processing.
