Benefits of Synthetic

Lubricants
DMPP Program v1.0

What is a synthetic ?
Synthetic lubricants are products of chemical reactions, where
small molecules are combined to form complex ones.
The chemical process gives
molecules that are identical in
size and shape.
In comparison, mineral oils are
complex blends of
hydrocarbons
