Evonik Features Latest WTGO Formulation in New Brochure and Flyer

Evonik has produced a new brochure and flyer, highlighting its new, cost-effective wind turbine gear oil (WTGO) formulation based on VISCOBASE® technology. Evonik’s Formulation 8175 offers a needed alternative lubricant to the wind power industry and is ideal for use in a wide variety of gearbox systems.

The brochure and flyer were created to showcase several key benefits of Formulation 8175, a novel synthetic WTGO made with Evonik’s VISCOBASE® 11-522, designed to meet critical OEM and end-user service
requirements.

The Oil Additives team at Evonik has taken a leadership role in developing lubricant additive technology designed to improve fuel efficiency and productivity. Energy-saving results have been demonstrated with VISCOPLEX® Viscosity Index Improvers (VIIs) in engine oils, driveline fluids and gear oils. Industrial and off-highway equipment field tests have also recorded up to double-digit improvements in fuel
savings with DYNAVIS® technology for hydraulic fluids, reducing operating costs as well as CO2 emissions. Evonik’s VISCOBASE® technology offers an ideal balance between a very shear-stable VII and a synthetic base fluid, providing excellent solvency in automotive gear oil formulations such as heavy duty axle oils and manual transmission fluids. In all of its many applications, the Oil Additives team at Evonik strives for Resource Efficiency.
