BASF @ STLE 2026

Abstract: BASF's Fuel and Lubricant Solutions delivers a differentiated portfolio of high-performance drivetrain lubricants that provide proven measurable value. Built on BASF's proprietary formulation and additive technologies, EMGARD® transmission and axle lubricants are designed to improve fuel economy, lower operating temperatures, and extend component life in demanding applications. Extensive laboratory, bench, and field testing confirms real world efficiency gains and durability benefits. For end users, this translates to reduced fuel consumption, lower maintenance costs, and improved equipment uptime. For distributors, EMGARD® offers a performance validated solution that supports premium positioning, strengthens portfolios, and builds long term customer loyalty. This session highlights how BASF's customer focused, rigorously tested lubricant technologies help partners compete today while supporting lower total cost of ownership and future drivetrain needs.

Abstract: BASF is a leading global supplier of high-performance lubricant additives and Group V base oils. This session will highlight our extensive portfolio of Polyalkylene glycols (PAGs) under the BREOX® and PLURASAFE® tradenames with a focus on our latest innovations. Available as water soluble or water insoluble systems, our PAGs span a broad range of viscosities to meet all your formulation needs. They offer a unique combination of performance properties such as very high viscosity indices, excellent shear stability, and outstanding oxidation resistance. With high load carrying capacity and very low friction, PAGs are an excellent choice to formulate highly energy efficient and long fluid life industrial lubricants for gear, hydraulic, and compressor oils. In response to the fast-growing market of natural gas compression, BASF developed the new water soluble PAG BREOX® 60 D 45. With reduced hydrocarbon solubility, it delivers improved viscosity retention to ensure optimal lubrication.
