Thickeners & Viscosity Modifiers
Thickeners and viscosity modifiers play an essential role in the formulation of technical lubricants and greases. They allow the texture, mechanical strength and temperature behavior of finished products to be adjusted according to operating constraints.

Thickeners are primarily used to structure lubricants, enhance grease consistency and improve resistance to water, pressure and shear. They provide strong adhesion to surfaces and help reduce losses due to splashing or dripping.
Viscosity modifiers, on the other hand, help stabilize lubricant performance in the face of temperature variations. By reducing viscosity fluctuations at high or low temperatures, they ensure more consistent lubrication, limiting wear and energy loss.
Lumar offers a full range of polymer-based and thickening-agent solutions tailored to every type of application, particularly automotive oils, industrial greases, hydraulic fluids and biodegradable lubricants.
