At the end of December 2003, a unique plant for producing polyalphaolefin base (PAO) and synthetic oils on this base was put on stream in Nizhnekamsk. Polyalphaolefins (PAO-2, PAO-4, PAO-6, PAO-8, PAO-10, PAO-12) can be applied as a base for transmission, gear, vacuum, compressor, cooling, transformer and other types of oil.
