Evonik Features Latest WTGO Formulation in New Brochure and Flyer

Evonik has produced a new brochure and
flyer, highlighting its new, cost-effective wind turbine gear oil (WTGO)
formulation based on VISCOBASE® technology. Evonik’s Formulation
8175 offers a needed alternative lubricant to the wind power industry
and is ideal for use in a wide variety of gearbox systems.

The brochure and flyer were created to showcase several key benefits of
Formulation 8175, a novel synthetic WTGO made with Evonik’s
VISCOBASE® 11-522, designed to meet critical OEM and end-user service
requirements.

This new formulation meets or exceeds the performance of existing
synthetic WTGO lubricants, even under the most demanding conditions.

About Oil Additives at Evonik

The 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, the Oil Additives team 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
