Oil additives team at Evonik has taken a leadership role in developing
lubricant additive technology designed to improve fuel efficiency and
productivity. Energy saving results have been demonstrated with
VISCOPLEX^® Viscosity Index Improvers (VIIs) in engine oils, driveline
fluids and gear oils. Industrial and off-highway equipment field tests
have also recorded up to double-digit improvements in fuel savings with
DYNAVIS^® technology for hydraulic fluids, reducing operating costs as
well as CO2 emissions. Evonik’s VISCOBASE^® technology offers an ideal
balance between a very shear-stable VII and a synthetic base fluid, providing excellent solvency in automotive gear oil formulations such as
heavy duty axle oils and manual transmission fluids. In all of its many
applications, oil additives at Evonik strives for Resource Efficiency.

The oil additives business line of Evonik Industries also specializes in
high-performance additives and technologies for fuels and refinery
products. Evonik’s VISCOPLEX^® Cold Flow Improvers (CFIs) provide
outstanding flow properties for biofuels in any region or season.
VISCOPLEX^® dewaxing aids (DWAs) are designed for refinery solvent
dewaxing processes that involve differing lube oil viscosity grades,
especially bright stocks.

Advanced regional technology centers, modern global manufacturing
centers, and a secure and reliable supply chain worldwide enable
Evonik’s continuous development of customized solutions for customers
anywhere on earth.
