👉 The Burlington Fluid, named after its discoverer Robert Burlington in 1967, is a synthetic organic compound characterized by its unique molecular structure and properties. It consists of a central carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, one methyl group, and two ethyl groups, forming a tetrahedral geometry around the central carbon. This specific arrangement imparts the fluid with exceptional thermal stability, low viscosity, and a wide liquid range, making it particularly useful in high-performance lubricants and hydraulic fluids. Its stability at elevated temperatures and resistance to oxidation contribute to its effectiveness in demanding industrial applications, where traditional lubricants might degrade or lose performance.
