Results for tag: "Pour Point Depressant"

Pour Point Depressants (PPDs) are a type of petrochemical additive used to reduce the pour point of a fuel or lubricant. PPDs are typically composed of polymers, waxes, and other materials that act as a dispersant, preventing the formation of wax crystals and allowing the fuel or lubricant to remain fluid at lower temperatures. PPDs are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aviation, and marine. PPDs are used to improve the performance of fuels and lubricants in cold weather conditions, allowing them to remain fluid and flow more easily. This helps to reduce engine wear and improve fuel efficiency. PPDs are also used to reduce the viscosity of lubricants, allowing them to flow more easily and reduce friction between moving parts. The PPD market is highly competitive, with a number of major players offering a wide range of products. Companies in the market include BASF, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Total. Show Less Read more
