OZ 08 – Pour Point Depressant

LX250

Description
OZ 08 – PPD (LX250) is a highly effective pour point depressant designed to ensure optimal flow performance of automotive lubricants in low-temperature environments. It provides a cost-effective solution for achieving excellent cold-weather fluidity across a wide range of base stocks, including Group I and Group II oils. Its versatile formulation enables use in engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and transmission fluids, ensuring improved cold-start performance and low-temperature pumpability.

Performance Features

• Significantly lowers pour point of base oils and finished lubricants
• Improves low-temperature fluidity and cold cranking performance
• Fully soluble in all new-generation base stocks
• Compatible with all standard additive components
• Enhances rheological properties such as MRV TP-1 and Brookfield viscosity
• Provides strong performance even at low treat rates

Applications

• Engine oils (monograde and multigrade)
• Gear oils
• Hydraulic and transmission fluids
• Lubricants requiring stringent low-temperature performance

Typical Dosages

• Engine Oils: 1 – 0.5% w/w
• Gear Oils: 2 – 1.5% w/w
• Dosage varies depending on desired pour point reduction and base stock used.

Typical Properties

• Form: Organic viscous liquid
• Color: Yellow to amber
• Specific Gravity @25°C: 0.86 – 0.90
• Flash Point: >120°C
• Kinematic Viscosity @100°C: >100 cSt

Effect on Oil Properties
At typical treat rates, OZ 08 – PPD LX250 provides:

• Strong positive effect on pour point, MRV TP-1 viscosity, Brookfield viscosity, and kinematic viscosity at low temperatures
• Negligible impact on viscosity index, CCS viscosity, and shear stability

Packaging and Storage

• Packaging: Supplied in industrial containers (e.g., 200 kg drums)
• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place below 45°C for long-term stability; avoid exposure above 75°C during short-term handling
• Compatible with common lubricant additives and maintains stability under recommended storage conditions
