How electrification creates new demands on lubricant base oils
The lubricant industry is entering a new era. For decades, lubricant development focused primarily on reducing friction, protecting components and extending equipment lifetime. While these objectives remain important, electrification has introduced a new set of requirements that are fundamentally changing how fluids are designed. From electric vehicles and battery systems to industrial equipment and power […]
The C6 opportunity: why caproic acid deserves a bigger role in ester lubricants?
For years, caproic acid has remained one of the lubricant industry’s hidden opportunities. Not because of its performance. But because reliable, large-scale supply simply wasn’t available. Caproic acid, also known as C6, offers an attractive balance of properties for the production of synthetic ester base oils. It can support low viscosity, excellent low-temperature performance and […]
