Innovations in Polymer Chemistry and Process Engineering

Dr. Michael Covitch and William Dimitrakis discuss some of the latest innovations that bring new viscosity modifier chemistry to the customer.The traditional role of a polymer additive in a lubricant has been as a thickener or viscosity modifier (VM), and/or as a pour-point depressant. Viscosity modifiers are also called viscosity index (VI) improvers but today, the value a polymer additive brings to a lubricant has expanded significantly to meet dynamic equipment challenges.

Keep Equipment Moving with the Right Viscosity Modifiers

Modern lubricants rely on additives, viscosity modifiers (VMs), and the base oils working together to deliver the required performance over the life of the lubricant. Changing any part of the formulation without

The Challenge of Keeping Hydraulic Equipment Clean

Hydraulic equipment manufacturers are working round-the-clock to be the first to bring new 'must have' technologies to the market and fluid manufacturers are in test labs around the globe developing new solutions and preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.
