Global Lubricant Viscosity Index Improvers Market by Size, by Type, by Application, by Region, History and Forecast 2020-2031

Summary

Viscosity Index Improvers (VIIs), also known as Viscosity Modifiers, comprise a class of additives that improve the viscosity-temperature characteristics of the lubricant, making the oil's viscosity more stable as its temperature changes. Lubricant Viscosity Index Improvers is made from polymers, which are long and flexible molecules used in the production of lubricant to reduce lubricant viscosity changes at high and low temperatures. When viscosity index improvers are added to low-viscosity oils, they effectively thicken the oil as temperature increases. This means the lubricating effect of mineral oils can be extended across a wider temperature range.
