Singapore, 25th August 2020, Afton Chemical Corporation, a global leader in the lubricant and fuel additive market, has received approval from the Afton Chemical board to invest in Gasoline Performance Additives (GPA) blending capabilities at its Singapore Chemical Additive Manufacturing Facility.

TBN (Total Base Number) is an important part of the detergent in an engine oil. It is designed to react and neutralize acids in the engine. Afton understands TBN and develops engine oil additive packages to work in the markets and conditions a customer needs to optimize their engine oil needs. To help stop our customers from paying more for chemistry than is needed and help ensure longer drain intervals, we have produced a fact sheet answering some of the important questions surrounding TBN.

Afton Chemical’s monoacids have successfully treated about 1 out of every 5 gallons of diesel fuel consumed in the United States since 2008, accounting for more than 500 billion miles of trouble-free operation.
