The Lubrizol Corporation opens new grease lab in Navi Mumbai ? As lithium prices continue to escalate, US-based speciality chemicals firm, The Lubrizol Corporation, is committed to supplying alternative high-performance, cost-effective industrial grease-thickening solutions to grease manufacturers around the world. As part of this commitment, Lubrizol has opened a new grease lab in Navi Mumbai to support the testing and development of calcium sulphonate greases with strong potential in the industrial grease market. ? Lithium soaps have long been a widely used thickener for grease applications, but vehicle electrification has led to a dramatic rise in lithium demand in recent years. Over the long term, grease manufacturers are expected to face supply constraints as supply will be favouring battery manufacturers. ? Calcium sulphonate complex greases-based formulations can be an effective alternative to lithium soaps. OBCS (Over-Based Calcium Sulphonate) provides reliable thickening properties, good compatibility with base oils and additives, and suitable performance for long-term use. Lubrizol said its new India lab will support the rigorous testing required for OBCS formulations to demonstrate their full potential. ? "India is a unique market with unique demands," said Mr. Sanjeev Kaul, Chairman and Managing Director, Lubrizol Additives India. "There is limited support available in the form of third-party testing labs in India focused on greases. With this lab, we are supporting small- to mid-size grease manufacturers in the region with grease development and testing services and support that can promote the development of calcium sulphonate-based greases and increase their sales," he added. ? "Lithium demand isn't slowing, and grease manufacturers will very soon require a reliable thickening alternative. We want to help manufacturers throughout the region stay ahead of the curve and sharpen their competitive edge with possible alternate solutions," remarked Mr. Kaul. ?
