Viscosity Index Improvers Explained

What are Viscosity Index Improvers? Viscosity Index Improvers (VIIs) are additives that help maintain the viscosity of lubricating oils across a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent performance. This article will explore the nature of viscosity index improvers...

Kinematic vs Dynamic Viscosity: What’s the Difference?

Kinematic vs Dynamic Viscosity: What’s the Difference?

It is often stated that viscosity is the most important property of a lubricant, and with good reason. Film thickness—the separation between moving machine surfaces—is primarily dictated by the lubricant's viscosity under operating loads, speeds, and temperatures. For...
