Going to extremes is our business

Innovative solutions; high-performance, longer lifetime lubes; biodegradable fluids; safer working fluids; state-of-the-art fuel additive components; or environmentally sound, competitive add-on benefits – that’s what we call the liquid power of Cognis Synlubes.

Today, the lubricant industry is faced with a multitude of demands. Lubricants are expected to provide greater occupational safety, increased environmental compatibility, reduced emissions, and, above all, superior performance. Industrial production processes can reach higher levels of efficiency and products can be made more attractive through the added value lubricants can offer.

Cognis focuses on these very market demands, in full alignment with international performance and sustainability trends. Progress through Synlubes Technology.

Backed by its know-how and more than 160 years of experience in specialty chemistry based on natural, renewable raw materials, Cognis is in a position to provide comprehensive, high-performance solutions that set new standards: exceptional synthetic lubricants as ready-to-market products, compounds, additives, or basestocks. For fuels that must provide maximum performance even at minus 40 °C (-40 °F), for transmission oils that don’t have to be replaced even after circling the earth 30 times, or for skin-compatible metalworking fluids.

Our know-how provides key contributions, especially when entire systems undergo fundamental changes. For the conversion of refrigeration systems to CFC-free refrigerants or the introduction of biodegradable hydraulic fluids, for instance, Cognis has tailored its Synlubes to meet the new requirements.

As a specialty chemicals company and one of the first movers in the lubricant industry, Cognis is a reliable and valued partner of internationally renowned OEMs and manufacturers of fuel additives and lubricants.
