INDUSTRY NEWS Infineum P6895A: tailored for hybrids
Infineum P6895A, the first market general additive package capable of meeting the demanding Group PSA test for SAE OW-20 is now available.
Tailored specifically for hybrid passenger cars, Infineum P6985A has been designed with a focus on sustainability through every step of the research and development cycle, right through to in-use performance. Formulated using cutting- edge technology which meets today’s industry specifications, including the latest claims from major French OEMs, the additive solution gives you the capability of formulating lubricants that deliver market leading fuel economy performance for a cleaner tomorrow.
Formulated for now and for the future, Infineum P6985A can deliver mid SAPs targeted OEM requirements for both new and legacy vehicles across a wide range of viscosity grades (SAE 5W-30, SAE 0W-30 and SAE 0W-20) and with the latest bio
derived base stocks. As the market share of hybrids increases, Infineum P6985A enables you to service this growing market segment at potentially > 30,000** KL/year finished oil opportunities in new vehicles and > 65,000*** KL/year in legacy vehicles.
Infineum P6895A has undergone stringent ‘no harms’ performance tests under severe conditions to ensure it protects against the unique performance requirements of hybrids. The extensive testing has demonstrated it is adept at exceeding the challenges associated with hybrid vehicles, notably the impact of fuel/water dilution, which can lead to rust, corrosion, emulsion and wear issues if not properly managed.

HPS advanced pigging technology in increasing use by lube manufacturers
HPS Product Recovery Solutions advanced liquid product recovery (pigging) technology has been used by a wide range of companies that process liquids since 1995.
Now, industrial lubricants and grease manufacturers are increasingly adopting the technology to increase yields, capacity, and profits, reduce product waste, and optimise operational efficiency.
The specially designed, bespoke systems are used by lubricants and grease manufacturers to recover product during batch changeovers. This increases productivity, decreases downtime, speeds up batch changeovers and improves cleaning procedures.
“As a response to increased raw material costs in the lubricants and greases industry, we’re implementing
an increasing number of our systems in lubricants and grease manufacturing plants. In a recent project, a manufacturer of automotive lubricant oils is expecting to recover an annual sales revenue of just under £600,000 worth of product, with a project payback in less than 5 months,” says HPS Director Peter Elgar.
With an exceptionally high product recovery rate of up to 99.5% from full lines, HPS pigging technology enables lubricant manufacturers to continue to process, package or use product that they would otherwise downgrade or send to waste.
