Application Information
  • Functional V-508F is a concentrated liquid viscosity modifier for a wide range of ester lubricants including vegetable oil, blown oils, and synthetic esters. Functional V-508F performs in both saturated and unsaturated ester base fluids as an economical and stable means of achieving higher viscosity. Functional V-508F is also compatible in water insoluble and oil soluble polyalkylene glycol (PAG) fluids.
  •  Functional V-508F is NSF HX-1 approved and listed on the Ecolabel LuSC list which meets VGP requirements.

Technical Details & Test Data

Treatment Level
  • 2 – 30 wt% Functional V-508F is used to prepare ISO 46 – 680 fluids for hydraulics, rock drill, bar and chain, open gear, chain lubricants, and more.
  • Both the polymer and diluent ester in Functional V-508F are thermally and oxidatively stable which best compliments saturated synthetic esters.  

Storage & Handling

Storage and handling Information
  • Functional V-508F may be warmed to 50°C (120°F) to facilitate pumping and handling.
  • The base oil should be heated to 150°F to 180°F during blending to allow for good mixing.
  • Mixing time will vary with equipment but is typically one hour.
  • Extended storage of this or any other vegetable oil derived product at elevated temperatures is not recommended.
  • Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with synthetic esters and vegetable oils
