Dr. Michael Warholic - works at Valvoline R&D. Was a research scientist at Infineum and Dow Chemical previously.


"I had never seen anything like it before, and I have eight years at Valvoline and 16 years at a company that makes the additives used in oil formulation.”

Thanks.

It appears his primary research interests are in polymers.

I don't know what mystery you're trying to solve but OSP's have better hydrolytic stability than esters. The less moisture a lubricant uptakes, the less prone to oxidation it will exhibit.

Thanks. Chemistry was never my strong suit in school. I’m definitely an experiential learner. Hands-on (whether triumph or failure) is my friend for comprehension.

Are OSPs prohibitively expensive to manufacture?

They are more expensive. The many viscosity OSP's I have were sent to me from Dow gratis for formulation experiments and a price list was sent but I cannot locate it. The latest prices I saw were $49.00/Liter but that was a few years ago.

They are usually used as co-bases or additives.

PAO is listing at about $2500 per metric ton for PAO 4 so if you want to do the math you could calculate the price per liter of PAO.

I should mention the higher viscosity PAO's and the metallocene PAO's are going to run $2800 to $3000 per metric ton.
