BASF's Innovative Energy Efficiency Booster (EEB)

At A Glance: SYNATIVE® EEB 45

Unique approach using hybrid chemical structure

Although the overall lubricant market is expected to remain flat, synthetic lubricants experience strong growth due to increasing performance and sustainability requirements. CO2 reduction targets are driving the industry towards higher energy and fuel efficiency. Lubricants are recognized as potential contributors for improved energy efficiency. Therefore, lubricant components and potentially new chemistries are carefully selected to address this market need.

Polyalkylene glycols (PAGs) are known for outstanding properties like low friction coefficients, cleanliness, antiwear properties and long drain intervals. Additionally, PAGs offer high viscosity indices, typically above 200, which can provide improved fuel economy and energy efficiency as well as more robust oil films for better wear protection. However, PAGs show no or only limited compatibility with mineral oils and PAOs.

Typical Applications

The outstanding friction performance of SYNATIVE® EEB 45 enables a boost in energy efficiency even at lower treat rates, both in automotive and industrial lubricants, e.g.:

  • Automotive driveline fluids
  • Compressor lubricants
  • Gear oils
  • Greases
