Lubricant Additives & Finished Products

Lubricant
Components

Foam Inhibitors

Prevent foaming to minimize oxidation and avoid cavitation by altering the surface tension of the oil. Available in Silicone & Non-Silicone grades (acrylate based)

Tackiness Additives

Improve the adhesive properties of a lubricant, preventing dripping and splashing during operation to reduce environmental contamination and product loss

Detergents

Prevent dust and dirt particles from attaching themselves to critical surfaces and, in the case of over-based detergents, neutralize acidic by-products of combustion to slow down lubricant oxidation Our best-selling Detergent product is an economical general purpose 400 TBN linear alkyl benzene high base synthetic calcium sulfonate with strong detergency, excellent hydrolytic stability, and minimal foaming
tendencies.

Corrosion Inhibitors

Protect the metal surfaces by forming a protective film or by neutralizing acids directly

Friction Modifiers

Improve fuel economy in gasoline engine oils, prevent scoring, reduce wear and noise, and avoid micro-pitting in other applications. Friction modifiers find particularly important applications in automatic and manual transmissions, tractor hydraulic systems, power steering, shock absorbers, and metalworking fluids.

Thickeners & Viscosity Index Improvers

Reduce the change of viscosity at extreme temperatures. Our premier liquid viscosity index improver meets and surpasses all critical parameters for low-temperature performance, including the cold cranking simulator (CCS) and the mini rotary viscometer (MRV) to produce multigrade lubricants.

Dispersants

Prevent sludge, varnish, and other deposits from forming on critical surfaces

Emulsifiers

Reducing the surface tension of water to facilitate thorough mixing: is important for metal working, rock drilling, and hydraulic applications.

Pour Point Depressants (PPDs)

Lowers the pour point of lubricating fluids to improve low-temperature performance. The LUBIMAX® PPD pour point depressant excels at reducing the pour point of base stocks from various sources, including, but not limited to most, South American, European and Middle Eastern solvent refined base oils.

Extreme Pressure Additives

Reacts with metal surfaces during operation at elevated temperatures, creating a protective coating that can withstand extreme heat and pressure

Antiwear Additives

Reacts with metal surfaces during operation, creating a protective coating at moderate loads and pressures ZDDP is our best-selling mixed, primary/secondary zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) antiwear and anticorrosion additive that finds an application in the formulation of automotive, marine and hydraulic fluids.

Seal Swell Additives

Maintains the integrity of certain elastomeric materials used as seals, preventing elastomer shrinkage, brittleness, and deterioration during service.

Grease
Components

Grease additive components modify grease properties to meet the specification requirements of particular industries, applications, and end users. Some of this additives are suitable for incidental food contact applications and have been registered with NSF with HX-1 approval.

The most commonly used additive components for grease formulation include:

Structure modifiers

Modify the grease structure & properties

Oxidation inhibitors

Rust and corrosion protection, particularly for applications involving high temperatures and/or water contamination

Extreme pressure additives

This enables greases and equipment to resist extreme heat and extreme pressure, particularly in boundary lubrication conditions.

Anti-wear agents

Reduce metal wear by binding to metal surfaces, forming a lubricious sacrificial coating

Metal deactivators

Reduce metal reactivity to protect surfaces from degradation

Viscosity modifiers

Modify base fluid properties to enhance performance in highly variable temperature applications

Other additives

Depending on the specific application, the following additives may also be applicable in your formulation: pour point depressants, antifoam agents, emulsifiers, demulsifiers, tackiness agents, solid additives and friction modifiers.

Lubricant Additive
Packages

Driveline Additives

The LUBIMAX® driveline additives division covers gear oils, transmission fluids, and off-highway fluids, covering all on and off-road applications. These include:

Automotive Gear Oils

The automotive gear oil additive packages distributed by Caspian Chemical meet and exceed the most common industry requirements and performance standards, including the API GL-5 classification.

Automatic Transmission Fluids

Our automatic transmission fluid additives bring improved fuel economy, anti-shudder friction durability, shear stability, low-temperature fluidity and improved oxidation stability to your product while meeting and surpassing mainstream industry grades such as Ford Mercon (V, LV, etc.) and GM Dexron (up to VI)

Engine Oil Additives

Our engine oil additives are comprehensively designed to protect all engines in various operating environments. The main categories catered to by the LUBIMAX Engine Oil Additive Division are:

Heavy-Duty Engine Oils (HDEO)

Lubricants used in “on-highway” and “off-highway” heavy-duty vehicle applications running on diesel fuel are classified as Heavy-Duty Engine Oils. Our fully formulated HDEO additive package comes with complete engine test data.

Passenger Car Engine Oils (PCMO)

Automotive lubricants used in car and light-duty truck engines are designed for vehicles that operate using alternative gasoline fuels.

Marine Engine Oils

In harsh operating conditions, lubricants for marine engines running on high sulfur fuels fit this category.

Motorcycle Engine Oils

Lubricants for motorcycle engine oils do more than lubricate critical engine components. Many motorcycle engines share lubricating fluids with clutch assemblies and gears.
