👉 The rand fluid, also known as Rand's oil or Rand's mineral oil, is a synthetic hydrocarbon fluid developed in the 1950s by physicist Rand McNally. It is characterized by its high viscosity index, meaning it maintains stable viscosity across a wide temperature range, making it ideal for use in various industrial applications. The fluid is composed primarily of paraffinic hydrocarbons and is often used as a lubricant, anti-wear additive, and in hydraulic systems. Its unique properties have made it a popular choice in automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries due to its ability to perform effectively under extreme conditions.
