Olefin copolymers (OCPs) are the workhorse viscosity modifiers of the lubricant industry, providing an economical and proven way to increase viscosity and viscosity index. Their combination of thickening efficiency, shear stability, and cost makes OCP chemistry particularly attractive for crankcase oils and other light-duty lubricant applications.
FUNCTIONAL V-150 and V-160 Series liquid OCPs and FUNCTIONAL V-200 Series pellets provide options across a broad range of thickening efficiency and permanent shear stability (P-SSI). Products are available in a variety of mineral and synthetic oils to support different formulation requirements.
Choosing the right OCP involves balancing finished-fluid performance, processing, and economics. Functional Products works with formulators to select the appropriate grade for new product development, reformulation, and cost optimization.
