Innovation supporting the increasing need for high-performing and sustainable lubricant ingredients.
Milledgeville, Georgia, June 5, 2025 – Zschimmer & Schwarz Inc., a global producer of synthetic ester base stocks and lubricant additives, has announced the launch of EsterTec, a significant advancement in synthetic ester technology. Utilizing Vicinal Secondary Polyol (VSP) technology, these innovative products are specifically designed to meet the most demanding technical requirements across various industrial applications. EsterTec combines exceptional performance with adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability, using globally available standard raw materials.
EsterTec is known for its outstanding thermal, oxidative, and hydrolytic stability, which allows it to perform exceptionally well in harsh environments. By reducing friction and wear, it boosts energy efficiency and extends the lifespan of machinery and systems. Its high viscosity index, low density, excellent lubricity, and wide operating temperature range enable efficient operation and potential cost savings.
EsterTec is designed for use in automotive, industrial, agricultural, and marine sectors, providing a customized solution for creating superior lubricants and functional fluids. VSP esters are suitable for hydraulic fluids, driveline and gear oils, compressor oils, transformer oils, metalworking fluids, drilling muds, and more. They also represent next-generation base stock options for forward-looking applications like e-mobility and dielectric coolants.
Besides their technical capabilities, EsterTec products offer sustainability advantages due to their high biogenic content and biodegradability, and will be certified as “BioPreferred®” by the USDA. This means they are both environmentally responsible and designed to proactively comply with future regulations.
EsterTec carries on Zschimmer & Schwarz’s tradition of “Chemistry tailor-made,” ensuring customers continue to benefit from Z&S application expertise and excellent service. To discover more about EsterTec VSP, visit:
