HPCL launches new advanced lubricants

Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd. (HPCL) has launched two new lubricant products, the Rhino and HP Numaro Uno, both of which are powered by NanoLub, a performance enhancing nanotechnology product. NanoLub, which contains billions of spherical nano-particles, is a nanotechnology-based line of lubricant enhancing additive products that reduce friction and wear from Israel-based private technology company NanoMaterials Ltd. The launch of the Rhino, a fully formulated gear oil with dual anti-friction and anti-wear capabilities, and HP Numaro Uno, a new engine oil targeted for the aftermarket, set HPCL as the first company to introduce nano lubricants into the Indian market.
