New Lubrizol UltraZol™ Additive Allows Production of All Gasoline Grades
Low Dosage to Meet Minimum Requirements and Superior Detergency at Higher Treat Rates Make Technology Ideal for Standard, High-Performance and Any Grade In-Between
CLEVELAND, OH, August 23, 2004 – North American-based gasoline producers now can gain formulation flexibility, reduce inventory costs and streamline production efficiency with the use of UltraZol™ 8219, a new gasoline detergent additive from The Lubrizol Corporation (NYSE: LZ). UltraZol 8219, which rounds out the existing family of UltraZol products, enables the production of all gasoline grades, from standard to high-performance to anything in-between.
At very efficient doses, UltraZol 8219 meets the EPA’s 1997 Final Rule Regulation that sets the requirements for its lowest additive concentration (LAC) for the minimum level of cleanliness for bulk fuel as specified in the Clean Air Act. UltraZol 8219 also meets the more stringent requirements of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and can be used at higher treat rates to provide deposit clean up and additional marketing claims. UltraZol 8219 is field proven with over 50 billion miles of use, and its detergency performance keeps clean engines clean, while it makes dirty engines cleaner.
In addition, this proprietary detergent additive technology is formulated to be pumpable at temperatures down to -30° F (-35° C).
