Growing Demand for Efficient and Sustainable Solutions

With the increasing need for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, the demand for refrigeration oils that minimize the carbon footprint and offer enhanced performance has surged. Synthetic oils, such as polyol ester (POE) and polyalkylene glycol (PAG), have gained popularity due to their excellent thermal stability, low toxicity, and compatibility with refrigerants like hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and natural refrigerants like hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and ammonia. These oils offer improved energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and comply with stringent environmental regulations.
