Find the Right Additive Chemistry by Application
CheMost supplies lubricant additive components, ready-to-blend additive packages, and specialty chemicals to formulators and blenders worldwide. Most buyers arrive with one of two questions in mind: “which chemistry do I need?” or “what does my industry use?” This page is the application-side entry point — it maps each major end-use sector to the additives, packages, and guidance built for it, then hands you off to a dedicated industry hub for the detail.
As a manufacturer and sourcing partner operating since 2013, CheMost serves engine and industrial oil blenders, grease producers, fuel and refinery operations, metalworking fluid houses, oilfield service companies, and mining and explosives formulators. Every product on this site is available as a sample with a COA, TDS, and SDS so your lab can validate fit before committing to volume.
Two Ways to Navigate the Catalog
By Product Line — what the chemistry is
- Lubricant Additive Components — single-function concentrates (ZDDP, EP, detergents, dispersants, VIIs, antioxidants).
- Lubricant Additive Packages — pre-formulated, ready-to-blend packages for engine, gear, and hydraulic oils.
- Specialty Chemicals — fuel, metalworking, oilfield, and mining chemistries.
By Industry — what your application uses
Solutions by Industry
Seven application sectors, each with its own additive set and formulation priorities. Open any hub for product categories, application guidance, and the chemistry behind it.
Automotive Lubricants
Additives and packages for passenger-car motor oils, heavy-duty diesel engine oils, automotive gear oils, ATF, and 2T/4T motorcycle oils. Detergency, antiwear, and viscosity control built to modern API and OEM targets. Key products: PCMO packages, HDEO packages, ZDDP, VIIs. Explore Automotive →
Industrial Lubricants
Chemistry for hydraulic fluids, compressor oils, turbine oils, and slideway lubricants — where oxidation stability, rust protection, and clean filtration matter most over long drain intervals. Key products: hydraulic packages, industrial transmission packages, antioxidants, rust inhibitors. Explore Industrial →
Grease Additives
Chemical components for grease formulation — extreme-pressure performance, antiwear protection, oxidation resistance, and adhesion across lithium, lithium-complex, and other thickener systems. Key products: EP additives, antiwear, rust inhibitors, tackiness additives. Explore Grease →
Fuel & Refinery Additives
Fuel additive chemistry for cold-flow improvement, storage stability, and rust inhibition across diesel and gasoline streams — used by refiners, terminals, and fuel marketers. Key products: fuel additives, pour point depressants, antioxidants. Explore Fuel & Refinery →
Metalworking Fluids
EP additives, emulsifiers, rust inhibitors, corrosion control, and foam management for cutting, grinding, forming, and rolling fluids — both soluble-oil and synthetic systems. Key products: metalworking fluid additives, EP additives, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors. Explore Metalworking →
Oilfield & Drilling Chemicals
Selected chemical additives for drilling fluids, production support, corrosion control, and extreme-pressure lubricity in upstream operations. Key products: oilfield & drilling chemicals, corrosion inhibitors, emulsifiers / demulsifiers. Explore Oilfield →
Mining & Explosives Chemicals
PIBSA-based emulsifier chemistry and selected additive components for mining operations and emulsion explosives, where water resistance and emulsion stability are critical. Key products: mining chemicals, emulsifiers / demulsifiers. Explore Mining →
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I browse by industry or by product type?
Either works — they reach the same catalog from two directions. Browse by industry when you know your application (engine oils, metalworking fluids, drilling fluids) but want to see which additives that sector typically uses. Browse by product type when you already know the chemistry you need — for example a specific ZDDP grade or a ready-to-blend package. Each industry hub links directly to the relevant product categories, so you can switch dimensions at any point.
Can CheMost recommend additives for my specific application?
Yes. Tell our technical team the finished-fluid type, the performance target or specification you are formulating to, and your base oil, and we will suggest suitable components or packages with treat-rate ranges. As a manufacturer and sourcing partner since 2013, we work across all seven sectors on this page and respond within 12 hours.
Are samples and technical documents available for industry products?
Every product is available as a sample. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each grade, plus a Certificate of Origin where required for export. Your lab can validate performance and compatibility before committing to a production order. Request a sample to get started.
Can you supply a custom or application-specific formulation?
We supply both standard grades and application-targeted blends. If you need a package tuned to a specific specification, base-oil system, or regional requirement, share your target and we will work from our component range to propose an option. Where a finished package is the better route, we can source and supply that as well.
