Global Lubricant Viscosity Index Improvers Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Global Lubricant Viscosity Index Improvers Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Lubricant viscosity index improvers, also known as viscosity modifiers, are additives used in lubricating oils to enhance their viscosity-temperature relationship. Viscosity refers to a lubricant’s resistance to flow, and it is an essential property for ensuring optimal lubrication in various applications. The viscosity index of a lubricant measures its rate of viscosity change with temperature fluctuations. Viscosity index improvers are polymers that are added to lubricating oils to improve their viscosity index by reducing the rate of viscosity change as temperatures rise or fall. They work by enlarging the viscosity-temperature curve, allowing the lubricant to maintain its desired viscosity and protective film thickness over a wider temperature range. This ensures that the lubricant remains effective in providing reliable lubrication and protection even in extreme temperature conditions. The use of viscosity index improvers is particularly important in automotive and industrial applications where lubricants are subjected to varying operating temperatures.
