Xenitron™ 3221 |  
a new ester dielectric base oil

We are pleased to share with you Xenitron 3221, a new dielectric base oil that can be formulated into battery cooling and transmission fluids for electric vehicles.   

Xenitron 3221 has excellent thermal properties to optimise cooling performance in systems where direct cooling of electrical components is required. The fluid is suitable for blending into PAO and mineral oil formulations, helping the formulator achieve superior stability, safety, and performance.  

It is also readily biodegradable, whilst having zero global warming potential.

We are now developing more novel ester fluids to meet the future needs of e-mobility. Get in touch to access our latest development products and to work with us on the next generation of fluids.
