Engines, hydraulic systems and drivelines are developing further all the time. Energy densities and operating temperatures increase and efficiency goes up as well, even when the technological and physical limits appear to have been reached. The machine's lubricant almost always plays a key role here, no matter which sector or application. The products in BASF's Irgaflo® series improve lubricants where it counts. Additives with the letter “V” in their names help optimise the viscosity-temperature relationship of lubricants even under great process heat, while products with the letter “P” lower the pour point, making trouble-free operation possible even at very low temperatures. “With these products, lubricant manufacturers can improve the product properties significantly,” says Gabriele Möller, Head of Business Management Europe for Fuel & Lubricant Solutions at BTC Europe.
