Nye Lubricants has been working with Pennzane® Fluids since their invention and uses all three fluids, X1000, X2000 and X3000, to produce a family of multiply-alkylated cyclopentane oils and greases. Each lubricant can be custom-formulated to customer specifications by extending the performance of the base fluid with additives, such as extreme pressure agents, antiwear agents, and antioxidants.
Nye Synthetic Oil 2001A (Pennzane X2000) is a patented, high-molecular weight saturated hydrocarbon fluid designed for superior lubrication, extremely low outgassing, and additive solubility. Notably, Synthetic Oil 2001A has a vapor pressure comparable to perfluoropolyethers while maintaining the superior optical properties, lubricity, and additive solubility of hydrocarbon. Also available only from Nye are a light viscosity Nye Synthetic Oil 1001A (Pennzane X1000) and a heavier grade, Nye Synthetic Oil 3001A (Pennzane X3000). By using the 3 viscosity grades engineers can accommodate lighter torques or handle higher loads. All Pennzane grades are completely compatible, allowing for custom-blended fluids with viscosities ranging from 8cs to 220cs (at 100°C). Blending Pennzane grades greatly expands the number of applications that can use this unique synthetic hydrocarbon lubricant.
