Lubricants Industry
Pour-Point Depressants (PPD)
- Based on Alkyl Methacrylate type polymer design (PMA).
- Offers significant control over low viscosity under shear conditions.
- Highly effective in reducing plastic viscosity.
- Recommended for high shear stable hydraulic oils for use in wide temperature range.
- Applicable for use in Engine Oils, Gear Oils and Hydraulic Fluids.
- Wax inhibitor and crystal growth modifier action in both heavy and light crudes.
Viscosity Index Improvers (VII)
- Based on Alkyl Methacrylate type polymer design (PMA).
- Offer very high to high VI improvement in combination with very high Shear stability.
- Recommended for high shear stable hydraulic oils for use in wide temperature range.
- Optimized to for pourpoint demulsibility and hydraulic stability.
- Applicable for use in Engine Oils, Gear Oils and Hydraulic Fluids.
- Can be customised based on required CST Viscosity and Shear Stability Index.
Antifoaming Agents (Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS))
- Foaming is an undesirable side effect of certain industrial processes which reduces processing and storage capacity, decreases operating efficiencies, and creates problems with product quality and performance.
- To effectively control foaming, it is necessary to use a Defoamer to chemically break the films of liquid which surround the bubbles of gas released in processing, or to use an Anti-Foaming Agent to prevent the foam films from forming in the first place.
- Polydimethylsiloxane or PDMS is a Silicone-based foam control additive and is a cost-effective and efficient option for preventing and controlling foam. Due to low surface tension.
- Silicones spread evenly and rapidly over a foam film, facilitating penetration and collapse of the foam. They also possess the advantage of being non-contaminating, since they are inert and are typically effective at much lower concentrations than non-silicone defoamers.
