The low SSI of 15 indicates that Viscoplex 14-520 loses very little thickening power even under extreme mechanical shear. This is a standout feature compared to many OCP (olefin copolymer) modifiers which may have SSIs of 30-50.
Rotary screw and vane compressors subject oil to both thermal stress and high shear. By using Viscoplex 14-520, formulators can achieve long-life compressor oils that protect against carbon formation while maintaining viscosity even after thousands of hours of operation. Viscoplex 14-520
Its technology builds specific droplet sizes for effective defoaming while maintaining performance stability in the final blend. Compatibility: The low SSI of 15 indicates that Viscoplex
For formulators, Viscoplex 14-520 arrives as a highly concentrated, viscous liquid (typically 100% active polymer or a heavy-cut concentrate). It is soluble in most Group I, II, III, and IV base oils. Due to its tacky, cohesive nature, it requires proper blending equipment—usually with heating and high-shear mixing—to ensure uniform dispersion without gel formation. By using Viscoplex 14-520, formulators can achieve long-life
The versatility of Viscoplex 14-520 makes it suitable for use in a diverse range of industrial applications, including:
In an industry where failure is not an option, every component of a lubricant must earn its place. delivers on its core promises: exceptional shear stability, superior low-temperature fluidity, and reliable thickening power. It is not the cheapest viscosity modifier on the market, but for formulators who prioritize durability, efficiency, and performance over short-term cost savings, it is often the most economical choice in the long run.
