As high-performance machinery becomes more and more advanced, their requirements become more specific. For example, lubricants that were perfectly suitable for use in equipment a century ago would be unacceptably inefficient today and may even do more harm than good. This means lubricant formulation has to keep up with the changes, and SolvChem® Custom Packaging Division is there at the forefront of the industry. We’re your full-service lubricant blending partner, providing a customized approach to the process of chemical blending and lubricant oil packaging that’s always geared toward ensuring you have the right products for your needs.
We keep up with all the latest advancements when it comes to blending lubricants, constantly reviewing base oils and additives to make sure what we produce will be of the highest quality. As machinery becomes more sophisticated and capable of higher levels of performance, the lubricants they use must be able to match it. We’re committed to making sure our blending process is up to the challenge.
Base Oils & Additives: The Foundation of Lubricant Formulation
Our lubricant oil blending processes begin with selecting the proper base oils for the desired results. Whether derived from mineral sources, plant-based or synthetic, a base oil offers different properties depending on its qualities. The most crucial of these are its viscosity, its thermal stability and its resistance to oxidation. The choice of base oils comes down to how well each one performs in the categories that are most important for the given application.
Once the base oil is selected, the next step is to determine which additives need to be blended with it to achieve the proper balance of properties and characteristics. Some common examples of additives include corrosion inhibitors, viscosity enhancers, detergents and anti-wear chemicals. The proportions of each additive and the base oil have to be precise in order to achieve the desired effects in the finished product. This process is absolutely critical for developing the high-performance lubricants required by today’s advanced machines.
Our Emphasis on Quality Assurance
Given the high expectations put on lubricant oil products today, quality assurance is a high priority. Any lubricant blending issues that are not addressed during the process can lead to serious problems with performance in machinery. This is why SolvChem® takes great care to adhere to the highest standards of quality when blending our lubricant solutions.
