This colorful wall chart lists more than 180 plants that manufacture the silicones, poly-isobutene, esters, polyalkylene glycol, phosphate esters, polyalphaolefin and API Group III used as base stocks for some of the worlds highest-value lubricants.
The data were compiled in close cooperation with Pathmaster Marketing Ltd., Woking, U.K. We extend our thanks to Pathmaster and the many industry experts who assisted in the project.
