UCON™ Oil Soluble Polyalkylene Glycols (OSP) were named as a finalist for the 2017 ICIS Innovation Awards.
Lowers downtime, facilitates long-term system integrity and eliminates potential for varnish and sludge formation.
Due to lower frictional losses, enabling smaller sumps and extending fluid life.
Increase energy efficiency by reducing friction, increasing equipment durability and improving both fuel economy and operational reliability.
Meet food and beverage processing standards for use where incidental contamination may occur.
Endure extreme temperatures and enable safe formulations for harsh operating conditions.
Include amines for pH and corrosion control and surfactants for emulsification.
Readily biodegradable, non-bio-accumulative, have low eco-toxicity, and are non-sheening for use in environmentally sensitive applications.
Allow for faster air release which reduces potential for micro-dieseling and cavitation.
We are committed to connecting you with experts and resources to tackle any challenge.
