Oil the performance of your greases

While the grease industry has historically been cautious about Polyalkylene Glycols (PAGs), these innovative base fluids are proving various advantages in grease formulations.

Energy efficiency

Simplicity

Modular/Versatile Chemistry

Environmentally sensitive applications

Food contact applications
Low friction coefficients enable energy-efficient, sustainable grease solutions. High viscosity index,
excellent pour points and high load carrying ability reduce the number of formulation components.
Physical properties can be customized through smart
design & modular building blocks.
Beneficial toxicity profile
and biodegradability of most PAGs enable eco-labelled grease solutions.
Free of mineral oil* and beneficial toxicity profile many PAGS are suited
for formulating food-approved greases.

Once switched to PAGs you will never go back!

* typical values for Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH)/ Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons (MOSH) are below 1 ppm

  • Polyglykol BM 01/50
    Polyglykol BM 01/50 is a linear butyl and methyl end-capped polyalkylene glycol (PAG) to be used as a synthetic base fluid for high performance lubricants with outstanding low temperature chracteristics, extremely high viscosity index and good solubility in mineral oils.
    more
  • Polyglykol B01/20
    Polyglykol B01/20 is a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) to be used as synthetic base fluid in high performance lubricants with low friction coefficients, excellent wear properties and good thermal stability.
    more
  • Polyglykol D21/700
    Polyglykol D21/700 is a polyalkylene glycol (PAG) to be used as synthetic base fluid in high performance lubricants with low friction coefficients, excellent wear properties and good thermal stability.
    more
  • Hostagel HT 300
    The alkali and alkaline earth salts of Hostagel HT 300 are used as gel-forming agents or thickeners for the production of greases for special applications at high and low temperatures, exposure to high pressure, high and low revolutions, aggressive media, etc. The average concentration used is 10 % by weight, calculated on the liquid basestock. These so-called terephthalamate greases have relatively high drop points, very good water stability and low penetration values. Depending on the property and application of the grease, mineral oils as well as synthetic oils such as dicarboxylicacid esters, silicones/siloxanes, polyalkylene glycols, polyalphaolefines, alkyl benzenes and polyalkylene ethers can be used as basestocks.

  • Hostacor ITD
    Hostacor ITD is a versatile performance additive for metal working fluids and lubricants. Besides of being an effective EP/AW additive, it provides excellent corrosion protection for steel and aluminum alloys while reducing copper and cobalt leaching. Hostacor ITD is recommended for metal working fluids (emulsions, semi-synthetic neat oil), rolling oils & emulsions, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids (HFD, HFD-U) and gear oils.

  • Hostagliss PA 135
    Hostagliss PA 135 is a polar polymer with multiple functional groups exhibiting a high affinity to metal surfaces. Hostagliss PA135 has good lubricity and anti-wear properties and it is used as a component of non-water miscible metal working fluids such as cutting oils or deep drawing oils. Other applications are rolling emulsions, gear oils and greases.
    more
  • Hostagliss L4
    Hostagliss L4 is a complex ester and used as lubricity improver and water-dispersable corrosion inhibitor for milky, semisynthetic and neat oil metalworking fluids. Furthermore it is used as synthetic base fluid for rolling emulsions. Hostagliss L4 is also listed on the “Lubricant Substance Classification list (LuSC). Thus suitable for lubricants with European Ecolabel certification.
