Speciality additives
Harrison Manufacturing was originally founded to produce rubber extender and was the first Australian Manufacturer to do so just after the Second World War. Over the years, Harrison Manufacturing continued to build and develop synthesising additives specifically for the rubber industry.
Harrison Manufacturing has since grown to become the largest grease manufacturer in Australia and our additive business has also grown and diversified. We now manufacture specialty additives, especially sulfur-based materials, which are developed for the lubricant additive space. We have a rich, diverse platform of materials that today remain at the very core of our business.
Sulfurised Oil EP Additives
Building on our history with rubber extenders that are highly vulcanised oils to form solid rubbers and pliable compounding agents. Similar chemistry and manufacturing techniques are employed to create sulfurised oil EP additives.
- Designed specifically for grease and oil applications.
- HMC was the first company to move away from the use of sperm whale oil as the base for our additives base and replace with more sustainable plant and animal-based alternatives.
Viscosity Modifiers
With a long history in vulcanised polymers, we have recently moved to manufacturing and blending Viscosity Modifiers especially suited for automotive engine oils.
- High molecular weight polymers blended and dissolved in base oils
- Used in oil blending to increase the viscosity of base oils at high temperature
- Improve the Viscosity Index – At high temperature the polymer solubility increases resulting in an increased thickening effect.
Functional Additive Packages
HMC has a dedicated R&D team that can develop functional additive packages to suit your lubricant blending needs.
- Packages combine a range of components such as extreme pressure, anti-wear and corrosion inhibitors
- Targeted concentrates for various lubricant sectors
