Pour Point DepressantsSoltex S-Flow P702, P750, P801, P821

Description:Alkyl methacrylate co-polymers that exhibit highly

effective control of paraffinic wax crystal formation in both industrial and automotive lubricants. A variety of product grades allow you to taylor to your specific application requirements: from low Napthenic content to heavier base oils and broad applicability.

Benefits:Offer lubricant formulator flexibility to choose a broad

application PPD and thus minimize inventory, or tailor to specific applications. They will not impact color of high quality base oils.

Antiwear / EP Additive - Soltex PCA 3001 Functional Bismuth Soap

Non Toxic Extreme Pressure / Anti-wear AdditiveSoltex PCA 3001 is a very thermally stable EP/AW additive which works in conjunction with all types of sulfur to provide outstanding antiwear for gear oils, engine oils, hydraulic oils, and other industrial and automotive fluids. It will dramatically increase 4-ball weld loads and Timken OK weld points. Typical treat rates of 3.3% in combination with 0.4 elemental sulfur will produce a 4-ball weld load of 620kg in a ISO 220 base oil lithium complex, Lithium, or calcium complex grease.

Features and BenefitsExcellent Extreme Pressure PropertiesLow Volatility yielding long life at high-temperatures.Non-Toxic Environmentally preferred
