Perstorp, a leading global innovator in specialty chemicals and a wholly owned subsidiary of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG), announces the launch of its new portfolio of saturated synthetic polyol esters.

The range includes three high-performing synthetic esters - Perstorp Synthetic-EF 5, Synthetic-EF 15, and Synthetic-EF 22 - developed to meet the evolving technical, environmental, and performance demands of the lubricant industry. This launch marks the next step towards becoming a recognized leader and supplier of specialty chemicals to the growing synthetic lubricants market.

Perstorp’s Synthetic-EF portfolio empowers lubricant manufacturers to formulate high-performing, application-specific lubricants for the most demanding conditions across a wide temperature range. Built on saturated synthetic polyol esters, the portfolio offers products registered with Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) as biodegradable, along with a roadmap toward Lubricant Substance Classification List (LuSC) listing in compliance with EU Ecolabel standards.
