Lubricant additive manufacturing requires chemistries that fit the needs of the final lubricant system, whether the end use is a metalworking fluid, automotive lubricant, industrial lubricant, engine oil, or base oil component.
Chevron Phillips Chemical products available through ChemPoint give additive manufacturers access to sulfur-based chemistries used in lubricant additive production and related intermediate routes. For manufacturers developing additive components, these products offer a focused starting point for sourcing materials aligned with lubricant additive applications.
Sulfur chemistry plays an important role in lubricant additive manufacturing. Chevron Phillips Mercaptans are chemical intermediates used in the production of lubricant additives, antioxidants, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The mercaptan range is also used as a sulfur source in the production of lubricant additives and other speciality chemicals.
For lubricant additive manufacturers, this makes the Chevron Phillips range relevant where sulfur-based intermediates or additive components are part of the production pathway.

Product selection depends on the additive route, lubricant category, target chemistry, and downstream application. Sulfole® 120 Mercaptan and N-Dodecyl Mercaptan are positioned as mercaptan-based materials for lubricant additive and intermediate production, while TBPS 454 provides a sulfide-based option for lubricant additive applications.
For manufacturers, the value is in matching the chemistry to the intended lubricant additive pathway rather than treating all sulfur-based products as interchangeable.
ChemPoint offers Chevron Phillips Chemical products for lubricant additive manufacturing, including mercaptan and sulfide-based options for metalworking fluids, automotive lubricants, industrial lubricants, base oil components, and engine oil-related applications.
