Synthetic Oils, Greases, and Lubricants

EV hardware is changing from designs based on separate componentry that employed multiple fluids, to designs with integrated e-modules. Read more...

ExxonMobil is responding to customer needs by significantly increasing low viscosity polyalphaolefin synthetic base stocks production capacity and further improving the reliability of its global supply chain network. Read more...

As wind turbines increase in size they are utilizing centralized grease distribution systems for their main and pitch bearings, especially in extreme temperatures and remote locations. Your customers demand grease that lasts longer and performs better, minimizing maintenance costs while maximizing equipment reliability and productivity. Read more...

Wind turbine power generation capacity and turbine size are both increasing, which drives wind power’s competitiveness by reducing the levelized cost of electricity. However, increasing power generation increases the loads on the gearbox and bearings, which increases the stress on the lubricants needed to protect the equipment. Read more...

Benefits

• Viscosity index range, for high performance at a wide temperature range
• Shear stability, for long drain intervals
• Low-temperature properties, for cold-start capability and fluidity

To be competitive, ATF lubricants need enhanced durability, providing wear protection at lower viscosity as well as oxidative and shear stability even in extreme temperatures. That’s why more formulators are relying on our advanced synthetic base stocks for improved performance capabilities compared to mineral-based oils. Read more...

Energy efficiency is becoming more critical than ever in the heavy-duty market. Through enhanced wear protection at lower viscosity, our advanced synthetic base stocks help finished lubricants meet evolving emissions regulations while increasing drain intervals even at high temperatures. Read more...

To meet the growing demand for engine oils with better low-temperature properties, low volatility, and improved thermal and oxidative stability, formulators use our low-viscosity SpectraSyn™ polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stocks to boost performance of mineral oil formulations. Read more...

Challenges: To meet the global challenge of reducing CO2 emissions, today’s engine oils are evolving to be lower in viscosity, which can improve overall fuel efficiency. Despite the trend toward smaller engines and harsher engine environments, these engine oils must still deliver better performance and improved wear protection. Whether you’re formulating engine oils fo... Read more...

Challenges: Manufacturing grease for automotive and industrial markets provides plenty of opportunities and challenges. Greases are complex, multiphase systems that must:

• Stay in place during intermittent or constant operation
• Seal against contamination and moisture
• Lubricate machine elements, such as bearings, gears, slideways and joints
