→ READ MOREWe provide additive packages specifically designed for the needs of four-stroke motorcycles. These balanced, multifunctional dispersant-inhibitor additive packages are designed for engine oils that must meet JASO MA or MA-2 (T903: 2006) requirements.
→ READ MOREAnother critical polymer choice is a pour point depressant (PPD), and our line of PPDs are carefully selected to provide the safest lubricant at low temperatures. PPDs are used to enable mineral oils to function efficiently at low temperatures, eliminating the harmful effects of wax and other crystallinity issues that might otherwise be encountered.
→ READ MORETackifiers are used to formulate lubricant oils and greases that require anti-drip characteristics and/or adhesion properties, and our tackifiers provide the performance needed to achieve these objectives. Our long-chain, high molecular weight polyisobutylenes, diluted in oxidative stable paraffinic oil, improve tack and peel adhesion.

They feature excellent solubility in a wide range of lubricants and greases, and our product range covers both sulfur scavengers and yellow metal surface passivators. The result is performance that won’t wear out or weigh down your budget.
→ READ MOREOur hydraulic A/W additives are designed to extend the life of critical hydraulic systems by providing excellent anti-wear protection and extreme pressure (EP) performance, along with rust protection and thermal and oxidative stability. Meeting all major hydraulic specifications, these additives give your products all the lubricating characteristics necessary to protect hydraulic systems against friction and wear, rust, oxidation, corrosion and demulsibility.
→ READ MOREOur passenger car and heavy-duty diesel engine oil additives deliver performance that meets the demands of the newest vehicles and industry requirements, whether related to fuel economy, emissions, wear protection, preignition events or other emerging demands of the automotive and commercial vehicle markets. In addition to preventing wear and deposit buildup, they improve the engine oil's contribution to fuel economy. Our packages also increase oil resistance to oxidation and deterioration at high temperatures.
Of particular note, IPAC 6510 is a new booster package designed for use with our cascadable packages in formulating a wide range of PCMO and HDD engine oils. The IPAC 6510 booster expands coverage of many cascadable packages to the newest profiles on the market. It provides excellent dispersancy and ashless detergency to manage soot, sludge and engine contaminants – resulting in improved engine cleanliness, thermal stability and oxidation protection.
→ READ MOREOur gasoline additives cover a wide range of needed upgrades for typical gasoline burning engines, including detergents, demulsifiers and antioxidants. Of particular note, the polybutene-amine-based IPAC 1005 is an ashless dispersant inhibitor gasoline additive package that provides excellent engine protection and cleanliness. Recommended for all grades of gasoline and gasoline-containing oxygenates, it is specifically designed to maintain and clean up fouled multi-port fuel injectors and carburetors, and to remove deposits from intake valves and ports.
→ READ MOREFrom diesel fuel depot treatment to aftermarket shelves, we offer numerous choices to improve the quality of your fuels. Detergents, cetane improvers, fuel flow improvers and fuel stabilizers are among the efficient performance additives you can employ to improve your products and broaden your product portfolio into new areas.
→ READ MOREOur multifunctional line of polyisobutylenes (PIBs) is chemically stable and resistant to oxidation due to light and moderate heat. All grades are water white, hydrophobic and non-toxic. Our products have a narrow molecular weight distribution and negligible sulfur content. These non-polar hydrocarbon polymers have a high solubility in aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated mediums and are compatible with a wide variety of organic materials.

Seaworthy
Extensively field tested, robust additives that provide best in class protection for ship engines
As the evolving marine market undergoes significant changes in emission control and engine designs, we provide the latest additive technology to meet your technical challenges.
IPAC 3325, our latest product in this area, is an additive package used to formulate marine diesel cylinder oils (MCL). It provides the robust acid neutralization necessary in MCL applications, along with enhanced thermal and oxidative stability. This additive is specially formulated for a very high rate of acid neutralization, thanks to components that quickly neutralize acids before they can reach the cylinder walls and cause corrosive wear. It is also a BN booster for our trunk piston oil additive, IPAC 3389.
IPAC 3325 has outperformed major brands of commercial cylinder oils in extensive field and lab testing, particularly in reducing wear and piston deposits. MAN B&W gave IPAC 3325 a No Objection Letter for use in all crosshead engine designs when used with specific base oils and following its latest crosshead engine lubrication guidelines.

Whether you prefer solids or liquids, we offer a full range of viscosity index improvers (VIIs) designed to improve a lubricant’s range of effective viscosity. Unlike many polymers currently sold as VIIs, our carefully selected polymers are designed specifically for the lubricants market. They effectively thicken oil as temperature increases, extending the lubricating effect across a wider temperature range.
A balance between thickening efficiency and shear stability is important when selecting a polymer for use as a viscosity improver. IPAC VIIs give you the highest possible degree of thermal and oxidative stability when added into your formulations and blends. These components are primarily used in multi-grade engine oils, gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, power steering fluids greases and some hydraulic fluids. We also provide guidance on setting up operations to dissolve solid polymer and blend VIIs in house as well as machinery considerations for grinding polymers.

More than ever, this is a key deliverable in today’s world of complex equipment and vehicles. At IPAC, we have focused resources on developing the best dispersants and detergents available. Add into these considerations the importance of new deliverables such as reducing or eliminating low speed preignition (LSPI), it is clear that having top performance in the lubricant cleanliness department is more important than ever.
