Synthetic lubricants have received a great deal of attention since synthetic-based automotive engine oils entered the retail market.

The history of the use of synthetic-based lubricants in aviation and industry goes back many years. Historically, synthetic-based lubricants have been of interest because of their greater fire resistance than mineral oils and their ability to protect equipment under extreme conditions, including very low or very high temperatures.

Recent attention has also been on exploiting these properties, but researchers also want to know how to minimize the direct and indirect impact of synthetic lubricants on the environment. The “synthetic” in synthetic lubricants is used to characterize the base oils used in these lubricants. A composite material is a whole that is synthesized or built from individual units. The production of synthetic lubricants begins with synthetic base oils, which in turn are often derived from petroleum. These base oils are obtained by chemically synthesizing low molecular weight compounds with sufficient viscosity to be used as lubricants.

Unlike mineral oils, synthetic base oils are artificial, with predictable properties and controllable molecular structures. Non-naturally occurring hydrocarbon mixtures. The characteristics of mineral lubricating oil depend on the composition of the selected crude oil, which should be the best for the intended use. The selection of the required lubricant components from crude oil is achieved by fractional distillation, solvent refining, hydrogen treatment, solvent dewaxing and filtration. However, even with further processing, the final product is still a mixture of many compounds from which only the material with the best properties cannot be selected; Mineral oil properties are the average properties of the parts that make up a mixture that contains both the most suitable and the least suitable components, which does not mean that lubricants produced from mineral oil are bad.
