As a leader in lubricant innovation, Evonik enhances efficiency and longevity across industrial applications. Our technologies set industry benchmarks, offering solutions for gear oils, including synthetic options for wind turbines, and robust alternatives for conventional gear oils. We contribute to formulating multigrade engine oils, transmission fluids, and industrial lubricants that excel under extreme conditions. Our additives improve rheology control in greases, enhance wetting properties in water-miscible lubricants, and boost processing efficiency. With a focus on sustainability and efficiency, Evonik's lubricant additives are designed to exceed industry standards, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings.

As an innovation leader in the lubricants industry, Evonik’s extensive portfolio of high-performance products enhance the efficiency and longevity of lubricant applications. Our groundbreaking NUFLUX™ technology is designed to meet the rigorous needs of industrial end-users and system manufacturers alike. This technology is part of a new generation of high-performance gear oils, including a synthetic wind turbine gear oil additive that delivers OEM-certified performance, setting a new benchmark in the industry.

Engineered to perform under extreme conditions, VISCOBASE® synthetic base fluids offer a robust alternative to conventional gear oils and deliver high performance without a premium cost. Our VISCOPLEX® series, which includes viscosity index improvers (VIIs), pour point depressants (PPDs), dewaxing aids, and cold flow improvers (CFIs), is vital in formulating multigrade engine oils, transmission fluids, and industrial lubricants. 

The AEROSIL® product line plays a pivotal role in improving the rheology control of greases and lubricants. AEROSIL® 200, serves as a universal anti-settling agent, flow inhibitor, and corrosion resistance additive making it indispensable in the industry. AEROSIL® COK 84 and AEROSIL® R 972 lubricant additives enhance flow behavior, thickening, and stability in a variety of industrial applications.  

Our expertise also extends to wetting agents, lubricity enhancers and defoamers, with products like TEGO® Surten W 11, TEGOPREN® 5840 and SURFYNOL® 2502. These additives enhance the wetting properties of water-miscible lubricants and provide excellent dispersing properties and super-spreading abilities on hydrophobic surfaces, improving lubrication and processing efficiency across diverse applications. These products are not only efficient but also compatible with a wide range of fluid formulations, ensuring optimal lubrication and processing across various applications.

Our DYNAVIS® technology offers a significant edge in hydraulic efficiency maintaining viscosity over a broad temperature range, leading to energy savings and enhanced equipment performance. 

Lastly, VESTOPLAST® APAOs offer a versatile range of raw materials available in both amorphous and partially crystalline grades, allowing for flexible formulation and optimization of properties such as hardness, melt viscosity, and crystallization rates.

Evonik's portfolio delivers unparalleled performance and is the culmination of decades of research, development, and technical expertise. By ensuring our products not only meet but exceed industry standards, we provide customers with the competitive edge they need. Whether it's protecting equipment, reducing emissions, or saving energy, Evonik's lubricant additives are the solution for a sustainable and efficient future.
