Leading Energy and Chemical Companies Drive Innovation in Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Base Oil Market

Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base oil is a synthetic lubricant known for its excellent thermal stability, low volatility, and high resistance to oxidation and sludge formation. One key application is in refrigeration compressors, where PAG oils provide superior lubricity and thermal stability, ensuring efficient operation and long service life of compressor components. They are particularly suitable for systems using HFC refrigerants due to their high miscibility, which improves energy efficiency and reduces wear and tear on compressor parts. This makes PAG base oils ideal for various industrial applications, including compressors, gearboxes, and hydraulic systems, especially under extreme temperature conditions.

Global Polyalkylene Glycol (PAG) Base Oil Market is expected to reach USD 7,870,702.96 thousand by 2029 with a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period 2022 to 2029.
