CHEMPOL P30 OCP Viscosity Index Improver – VII OCP-Olefin Co-polymer

A solid highly stable pellet form olefin copolymer (OCP) with narrow molecular weight distribution, intended for use as a viscosity index improver (VII) and viscosity modifier/thickener in mineral oil-based automotive crankcase lubricants and industrial lubricants. Its excellent low-temperature properties and high thickening power make it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Dissolving

Polymers should be dissolved under high agitation in oil at 100°C – 160°C for 3-6 hours until all solids have been dissolved. Treat rates of 6-10% will be required depending upon viscosity grade required and the base oil used. Use with suitable PPD. Consult the CHEMPOL technical department for specific recommendations.

Safety, Handling and Storage

Wear a suitable dust mask & gloves when handling polymers. Avoid storing pellet-type polymers >30°C for prolonged periods, and avoid direct sunlight.
