Polyalkylene Glycols (PAG)
Polyalkylene glycols, also known as PAGs, include a wide variety of polymers which, depending on their chemical structure, can exhibit very different physical properties.
They are produced by reacting compounds containing labile hydrogen atoms (alcohols, water, amines …) with alkylene oxides (commonly ethylene oxide and propylene oxide).
Description
The chemical and physical properties inherent to their structure allow PAGs to be used in a wide range of industrial and/or lubricating applications:
- Aqueous quenchants
- Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids
- Brake fluids
- Greases
- Industrial gear oils
- Metalworking oils
- Compressor lubricants
- Heat transfer fluids
- Release agents
- Textile lubricants
