Friction between moving parts in vehicles and industry accounts for 23% of global energy consumption. The study of this friction is called “tribology” and we fight friction with lubricants. Better lubricants can provide immense improvements to energy savings, sustainability, and the global carbon footprint.
Lubricants and greases are made of petroleum, synthetic, or biobased oils which are combined in a formula with additives to create a finished product for use in industry. Better additives enable better lubricants. We also develop unique additives to support an emerging “Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant” market which is using re-refined, biodegradable, and biobased to accelerate the push toward more sustainable lubricants for industry.
