Lubricant Expo is Europe’s first free-to-attend exhibition and conference, connecting lubricant solution providers with the full range of end-user buyers, as well as the entire chemical and equipment supply chain. Thousands of engineers and executives will attend.
Visitors from both the lubricant community and end-users will find a comprehensive showcase of all lubricant technologies, including finished lubricants, additives, process equipment & machinery, condition monitoring, automation systems, testing & analysis, data technologies, lubricant manufacturing equipment, end-user application systems and more.
A world leader in specialty surfactants
With more than 60 years of experience, Arkema has developed a strong and recognized expertise in the field of specialty surfactants. Mastering alkoxylation and amines chemistries, Arkema will be showcasing its large range of non ionic and cationic surfactants, demonstrating a variety of properties such as emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, solubilizing, foaming control. Arkema’s additives portfolio covers friction modifiers, anti-corrosion, emulsifiers, anti-wear and solvents through targeted chemistries such as amines derivatives, phosphates esters and non-Ionic surfactants.
Our Non ionic Neoliens® surfactant is designed to be used in cleaner formulation with outstanding results in detergency and surfactant behavior to remove to soil for a surface. Neoliens® range is suitable for all kind of rolling, metal working and generally speaking industrial appllication. Non aquatoxic, biodegradable, his alcohol bio sourced is a real advantage and solution for sustainable solution.
Arkema Thiochemicals – Specialty Additives for Higher-Performance, More Sustainable Lubricants
Building on decades of expertise in sulfur chemistry, Arkema's Thiochemicals team is showcasing its high-performance additive portfolio for the lubricants market at Lubricant Expo.
TPS® & SPS® – Premium Sulfur-Based Extreme Pressure Additives
Arkema's TPS® and SPS® additives are premium sulfur-based solutions engineered to meet the most demanding requirements in lubricant formulation. Their outstanding extreme-pressure properties help extend lubricant life by significantly reducing metal surface wear under heavy-load conditions. Their performance also supports gearbox downsizing, a key trend driven by the need for greater energy efficiency in automotive and industrial applications. In metalworking, TPS® and SPS® boost productivity by providing superior protection for cutting tools and machined surfaces. From a sustainability standpoint, these additives offer a proven, high-performance alternative to chlorinated paraffins, which are increasingly restricted under evolving environmental regulations.
MIBC – High-Purity Branched Alcohol for Lubricant Additive Synthesis
Arkema's methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) is a high-purity branched alcohol that plays a key role in the synthesis of zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) additives. Widely used in engine and industrial oils, ZDDP formulated with Arkema's MIBC delivers excellent anti-wear and anti-corrosion properties, helping protect critical mechanical components and extend equipment service life.
Oleris® Advanced Bio-Materials
Arkema will present its Oleris® advanced bio-materials, a 100% bio-based range of C7, C11, and C18 oleochemicals made from the renewable feedstock castor oil through a process unique to Arkema. The highly linear seven-carbon chain of Oleris® n-heptanoic acid is used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of high performance polyol esters (POE), showing very low kinematic viscosity and pour point values, low volatility at high temperature, excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability and to increase their renewability and biodegradability profile. These polyol esters find applications in the aeronautical market, in dielectric fluids for transformers and in cooling oils.
Oleris® Esterol A is a bio-sourced mixture of C18 fatty acid methyl esters (>75%) from castor oil. Ideal for use as part of innovative sustainable design. Oleris® Esterol A has low viscosity, good anti-wear properties and is used as lubricant additive for rolling oils and wetting agent in metalworking fluids.
