Description
HiTEC® 3435A is a high-performance additive package developed by Afton Chemical for the formulation of premium-quality Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) fluids. Specifically engineered for use in both belt- and chain-driven CVT systems, this package delivers the optimal balance of frictional stability, anti-shudder durability, wear protection, and oxidative resistance required by modern passenger vehicle transmissions.
Compatible with Group II and Group III base stocks, HiTEC® 3435A enables formulators to meet a wide range of OEM performance requirements. It is ideal for applications demanding smooth torque transfer, enhanced durability, and extended drain intervals. The additive’s balanced chemistry ensures strong metal-to-metal friction control while maintaining excellent component protection under severe temperature and pressure conditions.
