Lubricants, Heat Transfer and Deicing Fluids
Formulating the next generation of high-performance lubricants
High-performance lubricants, heat transfer fluids and aircraft deicing fluids address key challenges for a wide variety of applications such as transmissions, axles, engines, metal processing, aircraft, food processing, electronics, commercial marine and gas turbines.
Why are lubricants important?
Lubricants and base stocks address key challenges such as transmissions, axles, engines, metal processing, commercial marine and gas turbines.
Polyalkylene glycols (PAGs) improve energy efficiency by reducing friction, increasing equipment durability and improving fuel economy.
Non-varnishing synthetic base stocks enable extended lubricant performance with lower downtime and improved cleanliness.
Low-odor ingredients and base stocks, with low toxicity, meet food and beverage processing standards for use where incidental contamination occurs.
Applications
Industrial Lubricants and Base Stocks
Helping meet the industrial lubrication market demands for energy efficiency, environmental acceptability and high performance across applications.
Food and Beverage Processing
Delivering inhibited heat transfer fluids, silicone antifoams and defoaming agents designed to address undesirable temperature fluctuations and eliminate problematic foam during the production, processing and packaging of food and beverages.
Metalworking Fluids
Helping metalworking formulators solve everyday challenges by leveraging the manufacturing and support expertise of Dow.
Transportation
Delivering for an industry that is pushing not just for a more sustainable future for vehicles, but for one that is also safer, more connected, autonomous, electric, and profitable.
