Executive Summary

Viscosity modifier is one of the key ingredients of lubricant as it serves the purpose of controlling undesired viscosity of the lube with respect to temperature. Viscosity modifier helps lube to develop desired film thickness around the contact parts of the machine to protect in high temperature conditions. It also plays a vital role in maintaining the desired pumping viscosity requirements in cold conditions. Since viscosity modifier is one of the common ingredients of lubricant that serves the purpose of controlling the undesired viscosity changes with respect to temperature, the standardization of the viscosity modifier shall contribute, without compromising the lube quality, to minimize the sourcing challenges and providing optimized cost benefit in formulations and warehousing space.
