This helps us develop tailored industrial additives for our customers while maintaining a high level of sensitivity to global issues within the industry. By collaborating with...

Comprehensive product range covering the majority of application needs from cost effective API CF performance up to ACEA E4 and OEM specification long drain applications Additives designed with manufacturing versatility in mind with a flexible cascade approach enabling logistical...

Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios, unlike other mechanical transmissions that only allow a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. There are no gears to create gear ratios in a CVT. Instead the design...

Most lubricant applications involve agitation, which traps air in the lubricant and encourages the formation of foam. When foaming becomes excessive, lubricating qualities are less effective, and the result is oxidation and possible cavitation over time. The lubricant viscosity and surface...

Friction modifiers are commonly used in gasoline engine oils, and are added to fluids for automatic and manual transmissions, tractor hydraulic systems, power steering, shock absorbers, and metalworking applications. In automatic transmission fluids and limited-slip axle lubricants, friction...

Our family of fuel additives includes specialized additives for automotive performance, octane, home heating oil and fuel specification and distribution. We develop world leading automotive performance additives for diesel, gasoline or alternative fuels to help you meet your business goals,...

Tackiness additives increase the adhesive properties of a lubricant, preventing dripping and splashing during operation. This reduces operational cost and the risk of environmental contamination. Afton's tackiness additives are a combination of high molecular weight polymers in selected...

Seal swell additives help to maintain the integrity of certain elastomeric materials used as seals, preventing elastomer shrinkage, brittleness and deterioration during service. Seals are used within lubrication systems to isolate lubrication environments from harmful elements. By protecting...
