Russian market for pour-point depressants. New opportunities to apply polymethacrylates

Trends on the Russian market for pour-point depressants For the period 2001-2006 the production volume of single-grade oils for diesel engines stabilised (ave. % involving depressants 0.9-1.5%). Introduction of EURO-2 and EURO-3 (2008) standards will lead to an increased demand for multi-grade oils (ave. % involving depressants 0.3-0.5%) The production of commercial-grade oils in Russia for the period of 2003-2006 is on practically one level. 14 Share of depressants in commercial-grade oils 14 12 4 56 single-grade oils of the diesel and benzene group multi-grade oils for petrol engines industrial oils transmission oils RESULT: Stabilisation of consumption volumes of depressants under intensifying competition oils for rail transport

Field of application of pour-point depressant additives PMA D-110 DEPRAMAX 40 PMA D All-season multi-grade motor and transmission oils Universal solution. Of interest to companies that produce a large volume of oils in the diesel group and a small volume of multi-grade oils Single-grade motor and industrial oils (M-8G2k, M-10G2k, M-8V, IGP series)

PMA D-110 concentrated opportunities Main advantages: High content of active substance (60-70%); Effective when included in low concentrations (the percentage of additive dosing in the oil is up to 0.3-0.5%); Low mechanical and thermal destruction coefficient (this factor is especially important for the production of transmission oils). Compatible with thickening additives.

DEPRAMAX-40 a universal solution Optimal combination of depressant and thickening properties Compatible with thickening additives Narrow molecular mass distribution

Trends on the thickening additive market State-of-the-art industrial imports from abroad are growing. This generates a need for hydraulic oils with new properties (development of analogues of imported oils admitted in the specifications to application on equipment). The development of new grades of oil is needed, and with stricter operating requirements Imported hydraulic equipment is installed on domestic equipment, where more contemporary multigrade hydraulic oils are applied (hydraulic oils R, A, VMGZ and MG-15V do not satisfy these requirements)

Thickening polymethacrylate additives Thickening additive PMA V-2 Thickening additive PMA V-1 As an additive for transformer, transmission and hydraulic (VMGZ, MG-15V) oils, flushing oils for carburettor engines, oils for diesel engines for increased viscosity and viscosity index Applied as an additive to domestic waxy hydraulic (MGE-10A) and transmission oils for military equipment (TC3p-8) for increased viscosity and viscosity index. Highly resistant to mechanical destruction ADVANTAGES A distinguishing feature of polymethacrylate thickening additives excellent low-temperature attributes. Field of application waxy hydraulic and transmission oils

PMA D-210 depressant additives for fuel oil Test object: M-100 fuel oil, produced by OJSC LUKOIL- Nizhegorodneftorgsyntez Result: Fall in pour point from +23 to -4 with the involvement of 0.05% by mass of the PMA D-210. Possible benefits from application: - Reduction in energy costs to heat the fuel oil during its trans-shipment at ports - Reduction in the percentage of diesel fuel in commercialgrade fuel oil to achieve the necessary pour point - Reduction in pour point of bunker fuel.
