Lubricant Formulator Notes from Arizona Chemical
August 2006

Arizona Chemical serves the lubricant industry with a variety of key raw materials. Arizona's product line is unique and broad; our chemistries meet customers' needs for performance and are based on renewable resources.

For the formulator seeking a supplier who understands the interface between its chemistry and your application, Arizona Chemical, with its biobased product portfolio is qualified to meet your needs. Arizona's products are well suited for some important application areas within the lubricants industry.


Passenger Car Motor Oils

In automotive engine applications, Arizona has developed Uniflex® 1803, a friction modifier that delivers superior friction reduction at very economical treat rates. Uniflex® 1803 was developed in response to growing needs for improved fuel economy, and is based upon unique raw materials that deliver on performance. In addition, Arizona offers Sylfat® 202, an overbased detergent that will aid in the removal of heavy metals, sulfur, and sulfated ash from engine oil formulations, all while reducing friction.


Metalworking Fluids

For the metalworking fluid formulator, Arizona has a broad line of Sylfat® distilled tall oil products and Uniflex® esters. Distilled tall oils are a staple in soluble oil formulations. New products like Uniflex® 397 and 398 offer excellent load carrying properties combined with superior water solubility, for synthetic and semisynthetic metalworking fluids.


Biobased Lubricants

For formulators of hydraulic fluids, Arizona offers a range of Uniflex® ester base oils that combine excellent oxidative stability with high viscosity indices and high flash points. These products, based upon renewable resources, are available in several grades, to cover top-tier and medium-tier applications.

Formulators of other industrial lubricants can turn to Arizona Chemical for base oils in the ISO VG range 46 to 460, all offering excellent low temperature properties, high flash points, low pour points, and biodegradability.


Greases

Thickener precursors, derived from castor oil, form the foundation of Arizona's offerings to the grease formulator. Beyond thickener precursors, look to Arizona Chemical's Sylvagel® 6100 to improve mechanical stability of polyurea and aluminum complex greases. Arizona's Uniflex® esters also serve as base oils for specialty grease applications, where biodegradeability or low temperature properties are required.
