A Self-Repairing, Longer-Lasting VII
Viscosity Index Improvers allow lubricants such as motor oils to function well across a range of temperatures, from cold starts to high temperature / high shear engine operating conditions. Existing solutions modify viscosity index, but break down in high-temperature, high-shear conditions, and thus lose effectiveness over time. MSMs™ improve the VI as well as or better than existing solutions, but avoid degradation by self-repairing in these high-temperature, high-shear conditions leading to longer-lasting motor oils, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids.
Works in oil based drilling fluids
Oil based fluids are less dense than water, but traditionally cannot achieve the shear-thinning behavior of water containing guar gum or similar additive. MSMs™ make oil-based drilling fluids more practical in the field with a shear profile similar to water-based fluids.
Applications in Many Other Fluids
We are developing applications in a variety of fluids such as water and carbon dioxide. Watch this space for updates and contact us for your requirements.
