When a blend needs high-temperature synthetic blends requiring an ester contribution to viscosity and solvency, BAKLUCK Trimellitate Ester 8004 can be screened from its published typical-property set. Key entries include density at 20 °C of 0.973 g/cm³ by ASTM D1298, kinematic viscosity at 100 °C of 8 mm²/s by ASTM D445, and kinematic viscosity at 40 °C of 51.7 mm²/s by ASTM D445. Together they place this Trimellitate Ester 8004 trimellitate ester base stock within a useful comparison window for high-temperature compressor and chain-oil studies. It can also be assessed in ester-containing gear-lubricant formulation trials where the finished formulation calls for a similar measured profile. No source-table value replaces finished-fluid validation: formulators still need compatibility, performance, durability and compliance testing. Request current BAKLUCK technical documentation and the relevant batch COA before confirming a production formula or purchase.
Trimellitate Ester 8004
The case for trialing Trimellitate Ester 8004 in high-temperature compressor and chain-oil studies rests first on 8 mm²/s 100 °C viscosity, not on the grade name alone.
