BRB International Viscosity Modifiers and
Mineral Oil Additive Packages
Mineral Oil Additive Packages
A range of additive packages is available for industrial oils which meet OEM and international standards.
Hydraulic oil additives
Petrolad 1846, an ashless, high performance multi-functional additive package, meets internationally recognised specifications, e.g. DIN 51524 Parts 1, 2 and 3 (hydraulics), General Motors, Denison, Vickers, Cincinnati. Petrolad 1846 is also suitable for compressor oils (DIN 51506) and many other industrial applications.
Industrial Gear oil additives
Petrolad 336 is used under diverse operating conditions in automotive (GL 4 and GL 5) and industrial gear oils (US Steel 224). The product provides extreme pressure performance, corrosion and oxidation resistance and offers unique features including very low odour and phosphorus content while meeting all other specified requirements. A limited slip additive package is also available.
Viscosity Modifiers
Viscosity Modifiers or Viscosity Index (VI) Improvers are a class of additives that improve the viscosity-temperature characteristics of the lubricant, making the oil’s viscosity more stable as temperature changes.
VISCOTECH products give maximum flexibility by maintaining visometric performance while reducing the need for special, costly basestocks. Features are:
- Improved fuel economy
- Shear stability and resistance to oxidative and chemical attack
- Excellent low temperature performance
- Broad stay-in-grade spectrum
- Improved viscosity behaviour
VISCOTECH products are available in liquid form, e.g. Viscotech 6540L, or as a solid polymer, with a variety of SSI, e.g. 22, 35 and 52 SSI.
