Application Information
  • Functional V-201 is a viscosity index (V.I.) improver polymer supplied in bale form. It can be dissolved in oil to prepare multi-grade engine oils and treatments, high VI lubricants, and industrial fluids. It may also be used as an inexpensive thickener for oil to avoid blending with expensive oils like bright stocks. 
  • Functional V-201 improves water resistance, tackiness, and mechanical strength of greases including calcium sulfonate, aluminum complex, and lithium complex.

Technical Details & Test Data

Treatment Level
  • Treatment levels of 0.5-2.0% are typical in industrial lubricants and greases.
  • The detergent-inhibitors used in formulating modern motor oils contain significant but varying levels of polymeric additives.
  • The V.I. improver treatment level therefore depends on the choice of detergent package

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information
  • Dissolving is best accomplished with continuous agitation at temperatures of 176-210°F (80-100°C).
  • Higher temperatures will not affect Functional V-201 but may darken the diluent oil. Use 0.05wt% phenolic antioxidant for best results during solubilization.
  • Functional V-201 should be stored below 104°F (40°C) and is a non-hazardous material
