At Adipro, we are committed to continuous improvement and providing our customers with the highest quality lubricant additives. As part of this commitment, we’re excited to announce the expansion of our Global Technology Centre (AGTC) in Mhape, India, scheduled for completion in Q2 2024.
Umesh Amarnani, Adipro’s Managing Director, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion, stating:
“The AGTC expansion reflects our unwavering commitment to research and development. This facility will allow us to conduct a wider range of performance tests, accelerating our ability to deliver next-generation lubricant solutions to our global clientele.”
Enhanced Capabilities for Advanced Testing
The expansion will add two dedicated floors to the AGTC, significantly increasing its testing capacity. This expanded facility will allow us to conduct a wider range of performance tests, ensuring our lubricant additives meet the most rigorous standards.
Specific Tests Offered
The AGTC will offer a comprehensive suite of tests, including:
1. Four Ball Weld Load, Wear, KRL Shear Stability: This test evaluates an additive’s ability to minimize wear and friction under pressure.
2. PDSC – Thin Film Oxidation Stability: This test measures an additive’s resistance to oxidation, a key factor in lubricant life.
3. Panel Cocker – Detergency: This test assesses an additive’s ability to keep engine components clean.
4. TEOST Oxidation Test: This test provides insights into an additive’s oxidation resistance at various temperatures.
5. Additional tests like the HTCBT, Salt Spray, Bosch Pump, KRL Shear Stability Tester, Oxidation Stability of Mineral Insulating Oil, and FZG will also be available. These tests ensure optimal lubrication performance across diverse applications.
Kunal Khanna, Adipro’s Head of Operation, commented on the benefits of the expanded facility, stating:
“The new equipment and capabilities will empower our team to conduct more complex and targeted testing. This deeper understanding of lubricant performance will translate to the development of even more innovative and effective solutions for our customers.”
Benefits of the Expansion
The expanded AGTC will empower our team to conduct more in-depth testing, leading to a deeper understanding of lubricant performance. This, in turn, will allow us to develop even more effective solutions for our customers.
The AGTC expansion reflects Adipro’s dedication to remaining at the forefront of lubricant technology. This world-class facility will serve as a hub for innovation, enabling us to develop next-generation solutions for the evolving global market.
