Pour Point Depressants (PPDs) are polymers such as polyalkyl methacrylates (PAMA), which prevent or limit the wax crystal formation, allowing an oil to flow at lower temperatures, thus lowering the fluids pour point and improving the low temperature flow properties of the oil.

|---|---|---|---|
| Viscoplex® 1-300 | Viscoplex® 1-300 is a robust Pour Point Depressant. | For use in Automotive and Industrial Lubricants. Particularly effective in GPIII base oil to achieve extremely low Pour Point. Recommended treat rate of 0.1-0.3% by mass. Higher treat rates – for example, 0.5% to 1.0% by weight – may be required for some gear oil formulations | Automotive and Industrial Pour Point Depressants. |
| Viscoplex® 1-318 | Viscoplex® 1-318 is a robust Pour Point Depressant. | For use in Automotive and Industrial Lubricants. Recommended for Chevron Oronite GPIII ACEA formulations. Recommended treat rate of 0.1-0.3% by mass. Higher treat rates – for example, 0.5% to 1.0% by weight –may be required for some gear oil formulations. | Automotive and Industrial Pour Point Depressants. |
| Viscoplex® 1-326 | Viscoplex® 1-326 is a general purpose Pour Point Depressant . | For use in all oil-based fluids such as engine oils, hydraulic fluids, and gear oils. Gives very good performance in medium / heavy oil types such as 15W, 20W, 80W and 85W multigrades. Can also be a ‘problem solver’ for engine oils having difficulty with MRV TP-1. | Automotive and Industrial Pour Point Depressants. |
| Viscoplex® 1-330 | Viscoplex® 1-330 is a robust Pour Point Depressant. | For use in Automotive and Industrial Lubricants. Recommended for Chevron Oronite GPII HDEO formulations. Recommended treat rate of 0.1-0.3% by mass. | Automotive and Industrial Pour Point Depressants. |
| Viscoplex® 1-425 | Viscoplex® 1-425 is a robust Pour Point Depressant. | Leading-edge technology tailored to provide robust low-temperature solutions across a broad range of lubricants, but with particular emphasis on excellent control of MRV viscosity and yield stress as well as Scanning Brookfield Gelation Index. It is particularly effective in formulations using catalytically dewaxed base stocks and higher-ethylene content OCP VII in both fresh and aged oils (ROBO, CEC L-105). Viscoplex® 1-425 was developed to meet the stringent low-temperature requirements called for by the ILSAC GF-6 engine oil specification. Recommended by Chevron Oronite in all dexos™1 formulations. Typical addition rates are 0.1% to 0.5% by weight. | Automotive and Industrial Pour Point Depressants. |
Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.

AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
