Ninety percent reliance on imported China's synthetic lubricants market promising

With the development of China's automotive lubricant industry and the discovery of the market potential of China's synthetic lubricants, many domestic and foreign lubricant companies have begun to take action to seize the Chinese synthetic lubricant market.

A few days ago, Shell United (Beijing) Petrochemical Co., Ltd. announced that it officially launched the “Heneng” synthetic lubricant brand and new products, and launched the popularization of synthetic lubricants in China. Prior to this, Great Wall Lubricants, Qingdao Compton and other companies have also developed their own synthetic lubricants. As early as in 2005, Shenyang Augena Group was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission to start construction of China's first full-synthetic lubricant production base with an annual output of 20,000 tons PAO (English abbreviation of Poly alpha-olefin, Chinese translation for poly alpha-olefin).

The reporter found that the products introduced by these companies are basically manufactured using PAO base oil supplemented by a variety of high-tech composite additive technologies. Li Yang, Assistant to General Manager of Shenyang Augena Group, told reporters: “PAO synthetic lubricants are very promising.”

Early PAO was widely used in aerospace and military industry. In the 1980s, with the rapid development of the automotive industry, PAOs were heavily used in automobiles. From a worldwide perspective, the market demand for PAO has increased from 300,000 tons/year in the 1980s to nearly 4 million tons/year today. In recent years, the rise of China's and India's automobile industry, machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, and military industry have increased the demand for PAO synthetic lubricants. PAO synthetic lubricants have always been in short supply.

In the car, an important assembly using PAO lubricants is the transmission. Whether it is a manual transmission or an automatic transmission, the new standard lubricants are required to have the same lifespan as the transmission, and require superior low-temperature and high-temperature performance to adapt to the climatic conditions of various regions of the world.

Due to the late start of the development of synthetic lubricants in our country and the backwardness of technology, high-end PAO synthetic lubricants basically relied on imports. China is recognized as a world leader in product manufacturing, with industries such as textiles, metallurgy, and home appliance ranking the first in the world, and the total output of automobiles and agricultural machinery is also among the highest in the world. The demand for lubricants in these industries is rapidly increasing. Li Yang said: "In recent years, due to higher and higher performance requirements for lubricants in automobiles, industrial equipment, etc., the demand for PAO synthetic lubricants in China has been on the rise. At present, China needs PAO synthetic lubricants each year. More than 1.5 million tons, the total market value of more than 60 billion yuan. Of which 90% rely on imports, for domestic lubricant companies, this is a very regrettable thing."
