Optimising efficiency

With the construction, mining and infrastructure projects are growing faster, there is a growing demand for productive and efficient equipment in various projects. This will boost the demand for technologically superior lubricants to meet the industry needs.

Choosing the Right Hydraulic Fluids

When it comes to hydraulic fluids, the operating practices of yesterday are long gone. Today the pressure is on hydraulic systems. Hydraulic systems are expected to deliver optimum performance while operating under higher pressures, higher temperatures and tougher operating conditions

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
