THE PROBLEM - TRADITIONAL LUBRICANT BLENDING
Throughout the world, lubricant manufacturing is typically a very high energy use, high cost and time restrictive process. Base oils and additives are often heated to various temperatures and “blended” to form the different specification and viscosity types of lubricant products for engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils, brake fluids, transmission oils, and industrial oils and grease products.
The necessity to improve both th... Read More

The engine oil’s primary job is to lubricate the moving parts. It does this by forming a thin film over the machined surfaces of the engine’s components to prevent them from actually touching each other, and therefore causing friction, wear and damage. Lubricants however do more than lubricate – they prevent corrosion, take heat away from the combustion chambers aiding the cooling system, and remove any potentially damaging dirt particles from the engine by transmitting them...

It can harm plants and marine life, damage rivers, groundwater and soil and destroy natural habitats and drinking water supplies.
