Specialty Lubricants
Tailored, energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions
Dow partners with lubricant formulators and marketers to tailor polyalkylene glycol (PAG), silicone and polyglycol base stocks and formulated products to meet a variety of unique application requirements.
What are UCON™ fluids and lubricants?
UCON™ fluids and lubricants are PAG-based synthetic products that can be varied and highly controlled in formulation. They are used in turbine fluids, hydraulic fluids, compressor fluids, bearing and compressor oils, calendar lubricants, lubricant concentrates and metal working lubricants.

UCON™ Oil Soluble Polyalkylene Glycols (OSP) were named as a finalist for the 2017 ICIS Innovation Awards.
How are SYNALOX™ Water Soluble Lubricants used?
SYNALOX™ Water Soluble Lubricant Base Stocks are extensively used in formulations for chemical fiber spin finishes and industrial lubricants. They are soluble in cold water but exhibit inverse solubility at high temperatures. Water-based solutions provide low surface tension, good wetting and good penetration characteristics, while also exhibiting low foaming properties.
What are DOWSIL™ additives?
DOWSIL™ additives are silicone-based release agents, grease compounds, top coats, dilatant compounds, heat sink compounds and more that serve a variety of specialty lubricant applications. These include productivity and easy mold release for CRM; water and chemical resistance for sealing and lubricating fluids; high elasticity and bounce for toys; and good thermal conductivity for thermal coupling of electrical devices and PCB assemblies to heat sinks.
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.
