ENERGY EFFICIENCY

We strive to develop synthetic ester base stocks and metalworking additives that offer enhanced lubricity and wear protection for optimum equipment performance and longer tool life. The inherent high viscosity index and broad operating viscosity range of our synthetic esters provide natural lubricating efficiency in industrial, automotive, marine and aviation applications.

PRODUCT SAFETY

When a lubricant application demands products that are food grade, fire-resistant, eco-safe or worker friendly, Z&S synthetic ester base stocks and multifunctional additives provide the dependable protection that is required. Our products have favorable eco-toxicity profiles, low volatility and high flash/fire points making them the reliable choice for severe operating environments.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Z&S offers a wide variety of products with eco-friendly profiles based on sustainable and renewable raw materials. We are proud to offer an extensive selection of bio-based, biodegradable products meeting the highest industry standards (Ecolabel, LuSC, Blue Angel, VGP, VIDA, USDA BioPreferred) for long life in environmentally sensitive applications.
