Lubrizol's 'first-to-market lubricant solution' for siloxanes in landfill gas receives F&L Asia Product Development of the Year Award

摘要

This year's 'F&L Asia Product Development of the Year' has the distinction of being the "first-to-market lubricant solution" for siloxanes in landfill gas. Siloxanes are organo silicone chemicals used widely in a variety of products such as cosmetics and toiletries. As siloxanes use increases, their concentration is gradually rising in landfills. This is accentuating the decades-old problem of siloxanes in landfill gas causing silica deposits in the engines using the gas for fuel.
