Overview
HiTEC® 7389 multipurpose thickener is a shear-stable polymer used in formulating a wide range of industrial and automotive oils. It exhibits easy handling and, along with effective thickening power, demonstrates pour point depressant and seal swell performance. The additive also provides a cost-effective alternative to the use of 40 and 100 cSt PAO. HiTEC® 7389 has been tested and approved by the LRI against MIL-PRF-2105E requirements.

Features & Benefits
- Multipurpose thickener Highly shear stable Excellent handling properties Good compatibility with various base oils Contains seal swell technology Good pour point depressant properties MIL-PRF-2105E approved
Problems Solved
Blending shear-stable, ultra-high viscosity oils with good film thickness can be challenging with standard mineral oils. Metallocene PAO (mPAO) is often used in these instances, but it is expensive and can price blenders out of the market. Traditional thickening additives may demonstrate poor shear stability, inadequate low-temperature performance, or difficult handling.
