Gear & Transmission Oils

In recent years the requirement for higher performance gear and transmission lubricants has increased considerably due to the introduction of new and more sophisticated transmission systems.

At Croda we recognise the trends and demands of this dynamic market and have developed a range of high performance esters branded under the Priolube™ name which can help to provide:

• Reduced emissions
• Improved fuel efficiency
• Extended drain intervals
• Smoother gear changes
• Higher gear loading
• Low temperature fluidity
• Wear protection

Croda’s range of low viscosity esters can be used as additive solubilisers, seal swell agents and to help control friction.

Our range of high viscosity complex esters can be used as additives to improve the film forming properties of lubricant formulations, thus minimising or preventing wear and pitting, and as a shear stable thickener in place of traditionally used high viscosity polyalphaolefins (PAO's).
