VISION

Premium quality additive chemistry for lubricants industry

MISSION

To develop better additive chemistries to serve the lubricant and chemical industries so that our customers shall have better return for their investment

Our Technology

Additives technology is always evolving. New and improved chemistries are constantly being developed around the world. Additives are integral components of any chemical, lubricant, food, beverage, polymers, and many other products being produced daily and consumed worldwide. Additive makes a product perform better, lasts longer, and suitable for a wider application.

We believe that we have an important role in the industries that we serve in by giving to our customers top level technology in order for our customers to improve and to maximize their product quality. Our constant focus on product development means that our customers will continue to receive the latest and best chemistries in our products and our persistent attention at reducing cost means that our customers will continue to receive the best value for their investment in our mutual cooperation.

In order to trive in our mission, we continuously engage with potential collaborators worldwide and we convert our hard work into products that reflect contemporary technical level and we can assure that these products are constantly being tested for quality and performance. In the course of defining and then refining our additive technology, we constantly apply the global standards as our working principles. With this in mind, we want to ensure our customers of our critical motivation in the process of producing lubricant additives with good value for their money.

API

American Petroleum Institute is the forefront standard for setting and gauging the quality of automotive lubricants. It is the largest U.S. trade association for the oil and gas industry. API standards advocate proven, sound engineering and interchangeability of materials for processes and products. In the lubricant industry, API represents the most important program for industry standards and certification.

ILSAC

International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee was initiated in 1992 by AAMA & JAMA manufacturer groups with the purpose to set up standard parameters, licensing and administration of lubricant specifications. This grouping of American and Japanese automobile manufacturers established the minimum performance standards for passenger car engine oil (PCEO) in gasoline engines which paves the way for the API certification mark.

ACEA

The European Automobile Manufacturer's Association (or Association des Constructeurs Europeens d'Automobiles) is an organization representing about 15 most important European motor vehicles manufacturers. Among its many activities, it also defines specifications for engine oils. In the ACEA Sequences, it sets the standards for oil manufacturers to adapt to and make performance claims if those products satisfy the relevant requirements. It however does not provide approval/certification nor enforcement of those standards.

ACEA specification categories are:

1. A/B Classes: for gasoline & light duty diesel vehicles engine oils.
2. C Class: for catalyst compatible engine oils for gasoline & light duty diesel engines with after-treatment devices (forced induction, turbocharged, compressed induction, and etc) - typically low SAPS diesel engines.
3. E Class: for heavy duty diesel engine oils - typically mid-SAPS oils (HTHS viscosity at between 2.6 - 2.9 mPa*s.

These classes are further divided into categories to meet the requirements of different engines.

ASTM

ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) establishes quality for materials to be used in products and processes. It defines the specific composition and process for producing a certain product, and defines the method for testing of materials and performance. ASTM is the most important testing standards for lubricant additives.

SAE

SAE International is formerly Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is a professional association and standards development organization for engineering professional in various industries. It focuses especially on mobility and transport sectors such as automotive, commercial vehicles, and aerospace. In the lubricant industry, it has major impact on the establishment and standardization of viscosity for finished and components of automotive lubricants. SAE J300 provides standards for the viscometric properties of mono and multi grade engine oils.

Key testing parameters involve variable dynamics of Shear Rate vs Temperature which are established for engine oil viscometrics including:

1. Low-Shear-Rate Kinematic Viscosity (LSR via ASTM D445 at 40C & 100C).
2. High-Temperature-High-Shear-Rate Viscosity (HTHS).
3. Low-Temperature Pumping Viscosity (via ASTM D4684).
4. Low-Temperature Cranking Simulation Viscosity (CCS via ASTM D5293)

These parameters are important in meeting the standards requirement of API, ILSAC, and ACEA, among others. SAE J306 is intended for specification and classification of the voscometrics for automotive gear lubricants. It defines the limits for classification of automotive, manual, and axle transmission lubricants.

JASO

Japanese Automotive Standards Organization (JASO) is a subset of the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (JSAE). It sets lubricants standards via Engine Oil Standards Implementation Panel which consistss of six organizations; Petroleum Association of Japan (PAJ), Japan Automotive Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA), JSAE, Land Engine Manufacturers Assoc (LEMA), Japan Lubricating Oil Society (JALOS), and Japan Buoating Industry Assoc (JBIA) as well as concerned lubricant additive manufacturers. One of its main concern is the voscometric performance properties of lubricants for automotive gasoline and diesel engine oils, and motorcycle two & four cycles engine oils.

ISO

International Organization for Standardization is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from global national standards organizations. ISO certification certifies that a management system, manufacturing or services process and documentation procedure meets all the requirements for standardization and quality assurance.
