FUNCTIONAL V-378 is an additive that confers a tack or stringiness to a lubricant. It provides stringiness and water resistance to thermally stable lubricants and greases based on PAO and Group III base oils. Lubricants made with Group III or PAO oils and FUNCTIONAL V-378 are more thermally stable and oxidatively stable than those made with the same base oils and conventional tackifiers. We recommend FUNCTIONAL V-178 or FUNCTIONAL V-188 in applications where oxidation stability is less important.
COMPOSITION:
The active polymeric ingredient in FUNCTIONAL V-378 is a polyisobutylene long-used in tackifiers. The diluent oil in FUNCTIONAL V-378 is a thermally stable mineral oil that does not require hazard labeling.
HANDLING:
Due to the viscosity of FUNCTIONAL V-378, elevated temperature (about 150°F (65°C)) can facilitate handling. Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil; see the current MSDS. The tackiness of the resulting lubricant can be lessened by shearing, so mechanical shearing during blending and handling should be minimized.
