Overview
HiTEC® 5738 premium additive is a viscosity index improver (VII) based on a dispersant polymethacrylate chemistry. Because of its high shear stability that ensures consistent performance at high and low operating temperatures, it is ideally suited for formulating automatic, manual, and continuously variable transmission fluids. Its application versatility allows for operational and blending efficiencies, reduced inventories, and less waste. HiTEC® 5738 additive has wide base oil compatibility, including solvent-neutral oils and hydrocracked base stocks.

Problems Solved
Oil marketers blending different transmission oils can have challenges finding viscosity modifiers suitable across various applications. As a result, they often need to source various components, which can cause excess inventory, operational inefficiencies, blending mistakes, or extra disposal costs. Additionally, some viscosity modifier polymers are more susceptible to shear, making them ineffective in transmission oils that have long drain intervals.
Applications
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF)
Manual transmission fluid (MTF)
Continuously variable transmission fluid (CVTF)
