Pour Point Depressants/Viscosity Modifiers

We supply liquid and solid viscosity modifiers of differing shear stability, thickening properties, and low-temperature characteristics.

Pour Point Depressants

Depending on customers’ requirements, SBZ supply liquid and solid Viscosity Modifiers of differing shear stability, thickening properties and low temperature characteristics using olefin co-polymer, polymethacrylate and styrene isoprene polymers.

Viscosity Modifiers enhance the lubricant’s viscosity index, ensuring consistent viscosity across a wide temperature range in crankcase, driveline, and hydraulic oils. Meanwhile, Pour Point Depressants are specifically engineered to maintain oil flow in cold conditions by inhibiting the growth of wax crystals.

  • Pour Point Depressants, which are polymers, prevent heavy wax formation at low temperatures, enabling oils to flow smoothly during winter and remain pumpable.
  • Pour point depressants are essential in various lubricants, including crankcase engine oils, transmission fluids, and automotive gear oils.

Viscosity Modifiers are polymeric molecules that react to temperature changes. They contract at low temperatures without affecting viscosity and uncoil at high temperatures, increasing viscosity.

  • Viscosity modifiers are crucial in automotive products such as engine oils, transmission fluids, and some hydraulic fluids.

SBZs range includes liquid and solid viscosity modifiers with diverse shear stability, thickening properties, and low-temperature characteristics.

Depending on customers’ requirements, SBZ supplies liquid and solid Viscosity Modifiers of differing shear stability, thickening properties, and low-temperature characteristics using different chemistries such as olefin copolymer, polymethacrylate, and styrene isoprene polymers.
