Design of new transportation and fuel components
Cognis Synlubes play an important part in such developments. They are distinguished
especially by their long service life and durability and can be used throughout a broad temperature range. As one of the first movers in the development of synthetic lubricants based on renewable raw materials, Cognis can draw on decades of experience and expertise. Aiming at constantly improved performance paired with optimal environmental compatibility, we work to propel the development of our products. Frequently, we begin to dialogue with renowned manufacturers in the  transportation industry and their suppliers as early as the initial development phase.

This makes it possible for us to design our lubricants from the outset so that they can be considered a performance factor during development.

New engines and new types of fuels or additives are often developed in harmony with one another. Cognis also works closely with fuel additive manufacturers to develop products with improved properties, such as better combustion and performance or reduced pollutant emissions in internal combustion engines. Here, too, in order to satisfy market trends and to assist its customers in the development of new products, Cognis begins working with additive companies at an early stage.

CFC-free refrigeration systems
The development of the first  CFC-free refrigerators only became possible when a lubricant had been developed that was compatible with the new CFC-free refrigerants while still delivering full performance. Expertise, innovativeness and experience have made Cognis a leading specialist in synthetic refrigeration lubricants.

We ensure that our applications are precisely tailored to meet the demands of the market, and we furnish the prerequisites for the trend-setting new developments that enable Cognis customers to stay a step ahead of the competition.
