Belesta Synthetic Ester Boundary Ion (SYNBIONIC) Technology
The use of ester lubricants in speciality applications is
well known. What makes Belesta synthetic ester lubricants
different is their unique molecular structure.
Utilising molecular modelling techniques, idealised ester-based
chemical structures containing multi-functional groups, have
been designed and then synthesised. The resultant highly
polarised polymeric fluids have excellent load bearing and
anti-wear characteristics without the need for potentially
damaging additional chemical additives.

These synthetic oils, which are negatively charged, are
literally attracted to metal surfaces, which are inherently
positively charged, to give the so-called boundary ion effect.
This results in a mono-molecular layer of lubricant being
electronically bound to the metal surface, thus preventing metal
to metal contact.
By contrast, conventional lubricants shear and break down on a regular basis resulting in metal to metal contact. This causes friction resulting in wear, high temperatures and increased energy consumption.
