Tackifiers are additives that confer a tack, or stringiness, to a substance and are typically used to provide adherence in fluid lubricants and stringiness in grease. Thickeners give additional body to greases and fluid lubricants. Both tackifiers and thickeners also provide drip resistance and serve to inhibit stray mist in pneumatic system lubricants.

LUB<>LINE Biodegradable tackifiers are principally used to provide adherence in saw-guide Oils in environmentally sensitive locations. Low temperature properties can be improved. The treatment levels for a chain lube are 3-10 %. This level will bring a vegetable oil to ISO 46 to ISO 68 grade, these are good viscosities for all weather saw chain oils in most climates. The polymers themselves are not readily biodegradable, but permit the formulation of tacky lubricants from biodegradable base oil systems. These products are approximately 90% readily biodegradable.

LUB<>LINE additives are best used in greases that are either made with water, or where water is formed as a by product of soap formation. As an emulsion the high active polymer level results in modest viscosity compared to oil based tackifiers. L119M is more resistant to clotting during blending.

LUB<>LINE L873 and L883 are additives that confer a tack or stringiness to a lubricant. They provide stringiness and water resistance to thermally stable lubricants and greases based on PAO and Group III base oils. Lubricants made with Group III or PAO oils and these tackifiers are more thermally and oxidatively stable than those made with the same base oils and conventional tackifiers. Due to their viscosity, elevated temperatures can facilitate handling. Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with the base oil; see the current MSDS. The tackiness of the resulting lubricant can be lessened by shearing, so mechanical shearing during blending and handling should be minimized.
