What is Synthetic hot oil?
Concept of synthetic heat transfer oil
Synthetic hot oil is a specialized heat transfer oil used in industrial heating systems. It is produced through advanced chemical synthesis technology rather than natural mineral oil. Synthetic hot oil is engineered to operate at very high temperatures while maintaining:
+ Excellent thermal stability
+ No sludge formation and strong oxidation resistance
+ Higher heat transfer efficiency compared to mineral oils
+ Longer service life.

Advantages
1. High heat resistance and long-term stability
Synthetic hot oil operates reliably under extremely high temperatures. It does not degrade even at elevated heat levels and maintains stable performance within the 300°C – 400°C range. It also resists polymerization and significantly limits sludge formation.
2. Superior heat transfer efficiency
Synthetic hot oil offers excellent thermal conductivity, outperforming mineral oils. It enables faster heating, stable temperature control, and reduced energy consumption.
3. Excellent oxidation resistance and minimal residue
Synthetic hot oil is highly resistant to oxidation when exposed to high temperatures. This helps reduce acid formation and prevents corrosion inside pipelines.
4. Low volatility during operation
During industrial operation, Synthetic hot oil evaporates very little even at high temperatures. This lowers the risk of fire hazards and reduces overall operating costs.
5. Extended service life for cost savings
Synthetic hot oil can last 3–5 years or even longer, depending on system conditions. It remains stable over time and shows minimal degradation compared to mineral heat transfer oils.

Applications
+ Applications in Heating Systems
When used in heating systems, synthetic heat transfer oil is pumped into the system and heated (for example, from 200 - 400°C), then circulated through pipelines to transfer heat to equipment that requires heating, such as cooking tanks, melting pots, kilns, furnaces, etc. For instance, the maximum temperature of fire or gas is around 150°C, but to melt plastic at 280°C, heat transfer oil must be used to circulate around the pot. Heat transfer oil can increase the temperature up to 400°C, enabling materials like plastic or cast iron to melt as desired.
+ Applications in the Plastics, Packaging, and Chemical Industries
Synthetic heat transfer oil is widely used in the production and processing sectors of heavy industry, specifically in industries such as wood processing, chemicals, plastics, packaging, textiles, etc.
+ Applications in Food and Pharmaceutical Production
In the food and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors, heat transfer oil is essential for circulating through the complex processing systems used in these industries.
