Technical Details & Test Data

Treatment Level

Typical treatment level for methacrylate-based viscosity modifiers ranges from 5 to 10% for hydraulic fluids and c. 10% Functional MH-2000 will increase an ISO 32 oil to ISO 46.

Functional MH-2000 Treat Level vs. Viscosity at 100°C

wt% Treat	100N Oil (ISO 22)	150N Oil (ISO 32)	200N Oil (ISO 46)	350N Oil (ISO 68)
0%	3.9	5.4	6.5	8.3
5%	5.2	6.7	8.1	10.5
10%	6.9	8.8	10.2	13.2
20%	11.5	15.4	16.0	18.0

Treat Levels

Functional MH-2000Treat Levels:*
To obtain specific viscosity grades from a 100N (ISO 22) base oil:

	Treat (wt%)	40°C Viscosity	100°C Viscosity	VI
100N (ISO 22)	0.0%	19.4 cSt	3.9 cSt	92
150N (ISO 32)	9.90%	32.6 cSt	6.9 cSt	179

To obtain specific viscosity grades from a 150N (ISO 32) base oil:

	Treat (wt%)	40°C Viscosity	100°C Viscosity	VI
150N (ISO 32)	0.0%	30.6 cSt	5.4 cSt	117
200N (ISO 46)	9.90%	47.5 cSt	8.8 cSt	167

* These levels are suggested. Intermediate 40 ̊C viscosities may be achieved by varying wt% linearly. Actual treat levels will vary due to base oil composition and other additives.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions: Functional MH-2000 should be warmed to about 50°C (120°F) to facilitate pumping and handling. The base oil should be heated to 60 - 80°C (140-180°F) during blending to allow for good mixing. Mixing time will vary with equipment but is typically at least one hour. Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with base oil; see the current Safety Data Sheet.
