Carnauba Wax is obtained from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree known as ‘Copernica Cerifera’, also referred to as the "Tree of Life". The Carnauba palm flourishes in northeastern regions within Brazil, and proliferates naturally along riverbanks, streams and damp low-lands.The tree exudes wax through the petioles of its fan-shaped leaves, which prevents dehydration in the equatorial climate. The palm leaves, harvested in the dry months occurring from August through December, are sun-dried and mechanically thrashed to separate the wax from the leaf. The color and quality of the wax are governed by the age of the leaves and care used in processing.

LUBIMAX® 5524L2 is a liquid viscosity index improver intended for use in both multi-grade and monograde engine oil applications. LUBIMAX® 5524L2 imparts excellent shear stability and thickening properties for the formulation of crankcase oils. LUBIMAX® 5524L2 performs very well in a wide range of base oils and provides excellent low temperature properties.

Mosselman Amide KDK is derived from a 2 : 1 molar reaction of diethanolamine and coconut fatty acids. They contain approximately 70 % amide dissolved in unreacted dietahnolamine and fatty acid soap. The soap acts as an auxilary surfactant which contributes to water solubility and thickening properties. Amide KDK is an exellent detergent and emulsifier and shows good water solubility and exellent detergency.

Manek Active Clay Activated Attapulgite Clay is naturally mined clay. Attapulgite had been used by industry for more than 40 years before it was recognized as a distinct clay mineral. It is a needle-like clay mineral composed of magnesium-aluminum silicate. With the realization that Activated Attapulgite Clay was indeed a unique mineral, con- siderable efforts have been expended over the years by industry to take advantage of its characteristic properties in industrial applications.

Polybut™ 150 is a low molecular weight conventional polybutene.

Polybut EM HR 1000 (A-75) is a water-based emulsion of low molecular weight polyisobutene.

Ultraflon MP-55 is a coagulated dispersion-based PTFE powder additive, characterized by comparatively lower molecular weight. It possesses an agglomerated particle size of 4 microns, but breaks down to its primary particle size of 300 nanometers upon shearing. This allows MP- 55 to exhibit an extremely high surface area after processing, impacting viscosities. Moreover, the primary particles are engineered to be spherical, which makes MP-55 particularly well suited as an additive for lubricants.

Polybut EM MM 15 (A-60) is a water-based emulsion of medium molecular weight polyisobutene.

Polybut™ 0 is a low molecular weight conventional polybutene.
