Did you know thickeners are at the heart of grease manufacturing, determining the final product’s structure and performance? Thickeners act like a sponge, holding oils and additives in place to ensure consistent lubrication and protection over time. The choice of thickener—from traditional soaps to complex polymers—affects the grease’s temperature resistance, water resilience, and mechanical stability. At Valorem Chemicals, we provide expert advice and high-quality additives that work in tandem with these thickeners, ensuring your grease meets the exacting needs of modern machinery.
