We apply world-class materials science to real-world challenges and collaborate with our customers to enhance the performance, productivity and sustainability capabilities of their products.

We bring value to customers and differentiate from competitors by focusing on delivering three critical areas.

Innovative

We engineer advanced materials to meet formulators’ real-world performance, productivity and sustainability objectives and enhance modern life.

Performance

Our coating technologies improve surface appearance by ensuring consistent, long-lasting color, gloss and texture. Our materials deliver long-lasting protection against environmental and chemical exposure, preserving the appearance and value of the original surface. We apply advanced materials science to enhance the adhesion, corrosion resistance, and durability of our customers’ products.

Productivity

Our technologies are compatible with a broad range of ingredients and additives, ensuring formulation flexibility. Our technologies enable advanced formulations that make coatings faster, easier and simpler for end users to apply. Our technologies bring formulation and application benefits that help reduce total applied cost.

Sustainability

Lubrizol helps our customers meet regulatory requirements and sustainability objectives through a holistic approach to materials science and development that minimizes our customers’ carbon footprint without compromising performance. We enable the safe handling of our customers’ products by minimizing materials of concern while maximizing performance. We use a growing portfolio of renewable raw materials that can act as preferred alternatives to traditional ingredients. Our technologies minimize the water and energy required to manufacture, transport and apply formulated products. Our technologies empower customers to minimize waste and reduce their manufacturing footprint while maximizing recyclability, biodegradability, repulpability and reusability across their portfolio.
