HiTEC® 5835H Olefin Copolymer Viscosity Modifier

• Amorphous olefin-based viscosity index improver
• Balances shear stability and thickening power
• Low-temperature properties
• Applicability in wide range of base oils
• Readily dissolves in base oil
• Meets critical engine oil specifications with appropriate performance packages

One of the primary challenges that viscosity index improvers address is their ability to maintain consistent fluid performance across varying temperature conditions. However, they are not without their limitations. These improvers can sometimes shear quickly or fail to thicken adequately, which undermines overall performance during temperature fluctuations. This can lead to compromised engine protection and efficiency, posing significant challenges for lubricant formulators who must ensure optimal performance across diverse operational environments. Furthermore, these formulators also encounter difficulties when attempting to dissolve viscosity modifiers into their formulations, as improper integration can result in inefficient lubrication and increased engine wear.
