BRB launches a new gear oil additive booster

BRB Lube Oil Additives & Chemicals launched Petrolad® 133LS (limited slip) globally, a wholly new product in its Petrolad® brand family.

Limited slip additive controls the friction between the contacting parts inside the differential to eliminate NVH (noise, vibration and harshness).

Petrolad® 133LS was designed to work in synergy with the main additive package in an automotive gear oil, whereby the enhanced finished lubricant is then able to meet selected axle performance requirements of limited slip differentials, particularly friction reduction. The booster offers a competitive treat rate and provides great compatibility with the company’s Petrolad® 33X gear oil additive series as well as with other leading gear oil additive packages. Petrolad® 133LS is suitable for use in various mineral and (semi-)synthetic formulations.

“BRB Lube Oil Additives & Chemicals supports our customers in staying at the forefront of innovation and ahead of their competitors,” said Roger Dohmen, Vice President of BRB Lube Oil Additives & Chemicals. “With this launch we expand our gear additive product portfolio, delivering a wider range of innovative solutions to our customers while also unlocking new business opportunities for potential customers.”
