Lubrication Specialties, Inc. forms LSI Chemical

Aug. 20, 2020
LSI Chemical intends to focus on international sales and distribution of Nano additive technology via product development, acquisition, and partnerships.

Due to explosive growth in sales in multiple markets of LSI’s performance additives and oils and custom lubricant solutions for industrial clients, Lubrication Specialties Inc. (LSI) announced LSI Chemical.

The mission for LSI Chemical is to become the premier international oil and fuel additive leader focused on Nano additive technology and development of innovative base oils through product development, partnerships, and acquisition opportunities, the company says.

New products planned by LSI Chemical will incorporate the company’s true Nano technology, colorless Nano particles, patented additives, and surface treatment processes and Group V Esters/Group IV PAO to ensure no solubility issues and performance. LSI Chemical products will soon be introduced for a variety of industries and markets. The market focus will be additives and base oils for racing, engine, marine, and industrial oils. For the diesel additive market, the focus will be on products for large trucking fleets, marine, mines, and fuel jobbers around the world.

LSI Chemical’s soon to be introduced additives will be formulated from Group V Esters with friction modifiers and base oils. LSI aims to solve one of the largest issues with nano-particles – keeping them suspended over time to ensure an unsurpassed level of performance and product appearance. Without this longtime suspension of nano-particles (carbon, tungsten oxide, molybdenum disulfide and more), additives for many industries have experienced solubility issues.

“With over 25 years’ experience in this highly technical industry, it is exciting to work for a company that is at the forefront of developing leading edge processes that will revolutionize how Nano technology is used in the fuel and oil additive industries,” said Todd Cawley, president, LSI Chemical. “Our research and development is not cutting edge, but I would venture to say bleeding edge. Our additives will soon be a game changer that will improve products for many different industries and markets in the U.S.A. and around the world.”

“LSI Chemical will utilize our state-of-the-art laboratory to test our additives in your existing formula(s) to find the perfect balance of performance and function,” said Kevin Adams, vice president of research and development, LSI Chemical. “We will then provide you with results to sell and market an improved product with greater benefits. Our lab of scientists is easily accessible and available to help develop products that meet your needs, all in an easy, hassle-free process.”
