Lubricants, Heat Transfer and Deicing Fluids

Enabling formulation success

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.
