Basic Information
LUCANT™ is an ethylene/α-olefin oligomer.
It is a hydrocarbon-based synthetic oil containing no polar group.
The synthetic oil with this structure is a unique product
commercialized by Mitsui Chemicals for the first time in the world.
LUCANT™ as a base oil or a viscosity modifier
contributes to an improvement in the functions of the lubricants
that are required to have heat resistance, low-temperature resistance
and high shear stability.
LUCANT™ as an additive to rubbers, resins, paints and coatings, etc.
provides new functions such as processability, flexibility, heat resistance,
low-temperature properties, sliding properties and defoaming properties,
among other properties.

Lucant™ hydrocarbon synthetic fluid is a viscosity modifier intended
for applications including automotive driveline and industrial lubricants,
offering long service life, increased energy and fuel efficiency benefits.
Designed to deliver ""synthetic-like"" performance
in formulations containing API Group II and Group III base oils,
Lucant hydrocarbon synthetic fluid is soluble in all Group I, II, III and IV base stocks.
Providing high thickening efficiency and low treat rates, the Lucant hydrocarbon synthetic
range of performance polymers offer excellent low temperature fluidity
and are extremely shear stable to resist viscosity loss during service.
Being both thermally and oxidatively stable, with a High Viscosity Index increase per treat rate,
Lucant carbon synthetic fluid offers low “traction”
or internal fluid friction under load.
This translates to less heat build-up in the fluid and lower energy loss.

DETAILS
(Tokyo: President & CEO: Tsutomu Tannowa)
held a groundbreaking ceremony
for a new plant within the Ichihara Works
(Ichihara City, Chiba) to manufacture
hydrocarbon-based synthetic fluid, LUCANT™.
LUCANT™ is a high performance, hydrocarbon-based,
specialty synthetic fluid used primarily
as a viscosity modifier.
It is used in the most demanding applications including
automotive driveline, industrial lubricants and greases,
and is the approved choice
for leading OEMs and global oil marketers.
Mitsui Chemicals was the first manufacturer
to offer this unique synthetic fluid
which boasts industry leading efficiency and durability.
This investment in additional Lucant™ capacity
will allow Mitsui and our strategic partner,
(Segment President: Tom Curtis),
a segment of The Lubrizol Corporation,
to meet the evolving and demanding needs
of Lubricant market, whilst becoming
a more reliable and secure supply partner.
