ADVANCED CHEMISTRY THAT GIVES FORMULATIONS A COMPETITIVE EDGE

Boosting efficiency in premium lubricants, Evonik’s VISCOPLEX®, and VISCOBASE® product portfolios are built around the unique benefits of polyalkyl methacrylate (PAMA) chemistry.

Crude oil paraffin inhibitors

The extraction, transport and storage of crude oil can create critical flow problems. High melting points cause the long-chain paraffins to crystallize at low ambient temperatures, impeding the crude oil flow. Evonik’s team of innovation experts developed crude oil paraffin inhibitors, or COPIs, to address these issues head on.  Based on polyalkyl methacrylate (PAMA) chemistry, VISCOPLEX® COPIs vary the length of the PAMA molecule’s alkyl side chains to modify wax crystal growth in crude oil. By modifying the wax crystals, COPIs prevent build-up of a wax network, ensuring efficient oil flow.

EXTENDING FLUID SERVICE LIFE IN STRESSFUL APPLICATIONS

Customers are selecting VISCOBASE® synthetic base fluids as a forward-thinking, innovative alternative to high viscosity synthetic base stocks like PAO. Retaining all the benefits of fully synthetic fluids when combined with low viscosity components, either with fully synthetic or Group III mineral oils, VISCOBASE® delivers full performance and may reduce blending costs. Available in bulk or drum, Evonik offers several viscosity options for formulating flexibility.  VISCOBASE® synthetic base fluids boost viscosity index and have excellent package solvency. VISCOBASE® products are used in a variety of automotive and industrial applications, including automotive rear axle and manual formulations, general industrial gear and wind turbine gearbox lubricants.  Unique benefits such as effective viscosity control at low temperature, shear stability and oxidation resistance all contribute to provide extended fluid service life in stressful applications. VISCOBASE® provides superior blending efficiency over many competitive synthetic high viscosity alternatives, mixing easily with various base fluids and additive systems.
