Viscosity Index Improvers Market Analysis

Viscosity index improvers are the polymers additives taken from polyalkyl methyl acrylates, poly iso butylenes, olefin co-polymers, etc. which may reduce the impact of increasing temperature on viscosity of lubricants. Lubricant viscosity index improvers help the lubricant blenders to achieve the required significant properties, such as reduction of lubrication viscosity tendency to change when it subjected to temperature fluctuation to protect equipment at extreme temperature. Viscosity index improvers reduce the dependency of the lubrication viscosity in order to change increase or decrease of temperature. Viscosity index improvers belongs to two key properties which are shear stability and thickening efficiency. In order to achieve excellent fuel efficiency, durability and performance all these can be achieved by proper selection of viscosity index improvers. The application of viscosity index improvers achieves the maximum efficiency, performs better even at low temperature and protect the equipment from harmful wear. Environmental concern is expected to play key role in the viscosity index improvers market. Additionally, the reduction of some elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine and other metals proceeded at a fast rate over the last couple of years.
