featured products
RM50132 and RM50142 are highly branched mono-olefin (C12 rich) used in the manufacturing of several compounds, such as branched alkyl benzenes, phenates, sulfonates, alcohols, alkyl succinic anhydride and other products.
RM50440 is a highly branched mono-olefin (C15 rich) used in isoparrafin and applications similar to propylene tetramer where a longer chain is required to improve solubility and other physical and chemical properties of various compounds.
We sell highly reactive polyisobutylene in different molecular weights with ≥75% vinylidene content that is commonly used in the production of intermediates for dispersants in lubricating oil applications and emulsifiers for various applications, including explosives and metalworking.
OLOA® 15500 is a polyisobutylene succinic anhydride (PIBSA) derived from highly reactive 1000-molecular-weight polybutene for optimum performance. It is produced via a chlorine-free, thermal process and is commonly used in the manufacturing of emulsifiers for mining and industrial explosives.
OLOA 219® is a 260BN calcium phenate that provides a base for neutralizing corrosive acids and excellent detergency for upper-ring, belt-deposit control under the high-operating temperatures encountered in supercharged diesel engines.
OLOA® 249SX is a 425BN high, overbased (HOB) sulfonate detergent/corrosion inhibitor that provides a base for neutralizing corrosive acids and excellent detergency that prevents deposits in engines operating at high temperatures. It is also used in grease and metalworking applications.
OLOA® 11000 and OLOA® 11001 are ashless 1000 MW mono and bis succinimide dispersants that provide low-temperature, sludge, varnish control and effective dispersancy in gasoline and diesel engines, natural gas, and marine cylinder lubricants. They also have emulsifier properties for applications including mining, explosives and metalworking.
OLOA® 269R and OLOA® 262 are primary and secondary zinc dithiophosphates that helps reduce oxidation, copper-lead bearing corrosion and wear in engine oils, hydraulic fluids and other industrial oils.
