Overview
HiTEC® 008 is a performance seal swell additive for a variety of industrial and automotive lubricant applications. HiTEC® 008 is based on adipate ester and demonstrates outstanding seal swell performance. HiTEC® 008 helps improve adverse effects on equipment seals from certain base fluids, especially synthetic polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil which tends to shrink seals.
HiTEC® 008 also acts as a secondary pour point depressant for cold weather operation and improves solubility for other additive components.
