Perstorp Brings New Synthetic Lubrication Fluids with Validated Biodegradability
The new line of saturated synthetic polyol esters from Perstorp, a fully owned subsidiary of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG) and a major worldwide innovator in specialty chemicals, has been introduced. Perstorp Synthetic-EF 5, Synthetic-EF 15, and Synthetic-EF 22 are three high-performing synthetic esters in the range that were created to satisfy the changing performance, technical, and environmental requirements of the lubricant industry. The next step in becoming a reputable leader and supplier of specialty chemicals to the expanding market for synthetic lubricants is this launch.
Perstorp’s Synthetic-EF portfolio enables lubricant producers to create high-performing, application-specific lubricants for the most demanding conditions throughout a broad temperature range, with a strong focus on validated environmental performance and supply chain security. The portfolio, which is based on saturated synthetic polyol esters, includes products that are biodegradable and registered with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) as well as a path to listing on the Lubricant Substance Classification List (LuSC) in accordance with EU Ecolabel regulations. These solutions meet exact technical, regulatory, and environmental standards while enabling customized innovations for a variety of applications when paired with a fully integrated global supply chain and responsive local support.
Perstorp Synthetic-EF portfolio overview:
- Perstorp Synthetic-EF 5 – For demanding low-temperature applications. A saturated synthetic polyol ester, registered with REACH as biodegradable, with an ultra-low pour point and high flashpoint. The product will be tested for biodegradability according to OECD 301.
- Perstorp Synthetic-EF 15 – For applications that require performance and safety for effective operations. A biodegradable (OECD 301 & registered with REACH) saturated synthetic polyol ester with a high flash point and excellent thermal and oxidation stability.
- Perstorp Synthetic-EF 22 – For demanding applications across a wide temperature range. A saturated synthetic polyolester, registered with REACH as biodegradable, with a high viscosity index and low acid number. The product will be tested for biodegradability according to OECD 301.
Dr. Valentina Serra-Holm, Head of Engineered Fluids Solutions at Perstorp, comments: “With our long-standing expertise in ester chemistry and vertically integrated production, we’re able to offer exceptional consistency and control throughout the value chain.
Combined with our global network of application labs and technical experts, we support lubricant manufacturers with tailored solutions and hands-on development. This makes us more than a supplier – we’re a true partner in enabling sustainable growth for lubricant manufacturers.”
Beyond technical performance, Perstorp’s synthetic esters are developed to deliver verified environmental performance – demonstrated through OECD 301, REACH registrations as biodegradable, and a roadmap toward LuSC listing in compliance with EU Ecolabel criteria. With competitive Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) and ongoing work toward ISCC PLUS certification,
we provide lubricant manufacturers with transparent environmental credentials that support compliance with evolving regulatory and market expectations – without compromising on performance.
