01 Heavyweight New Products Debut, Technology Builds Core Competitiveness

Shanghai Dowpol Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dowpol Chemical") was founded in 2000 in the Free Trade Zone of Pudong New Area, Shanghai – China’s most dynamic city. The company holds independent intellectual property rights for a complete range of synthetic base oils, including traditional polyalphaolefins (PAO), metallocene polyalphaolefins (mPAO), and alkylnaphthalenes (AN).

Since its establishment, Dowpol Chemical has been committed to the R&D, production and sales in the fields of lubricating materials and functional chemicals. It is a professional company in the Asia-Pacific region that can simultaneously provide a full range of synthetic base oil products including PAO and AN.

At the current Shanghai Lubricants Exhibition, Dowpol Chemical made a high-profile debut with its new product – the ultra-high viscosity mPAO DowSyn®V2000, attracting widespread attention from the industry. This product combines high viscosity and excellent low-temperature performance, successfully filling the global technical gap in the ultra-high viscosity PAO market and further improving the model system of PAO products. This not only enhances Dowpol Chemical’s position in the metallocene polyalphaolefin technology sector but also contributes a high-performance base oil solution with global competitiveness to "Made in China".

In the interview, Director Deng of Dowpol Chemical stated, "The mPAO DowSyn®V2000 delivers outstanding performance in various high-end lubrication application scenarios such as gear oils, greases, and engine oils. Going forward, Dowpol will continue to deepen the R&D and production of functional chemicals, providing 'Intelligent Manufacturing from China' lubricating solutions – the 'lubricating blood' – for industrial equipment worldwide."

02 Diversified Product Layout to Expand the Boundaries of Lubrication Applications

All along, Dowpol Chemical has been continuously advancing the diversification of its product system and the expansion of application scenarios. In terms of PAO products, it has a complete range from PAO2 to PAO2000. This includes metallocene PAO65/150, which is currently in strong market demand, and such products have already entered commercial production.

In terms of the alkylnaphthalene series, after years of technological accumulation, Dowpol Chemical has launched a number of representative models, such as AN3, AN5, AN5H, AN15, AN23, and AN30. With their excellent performance, these products are widely used in fields including engine oils, gear oils, greases, and high-end greases.

The improvement of product lines such as PAO and alkylnaphthalene marks that Dowpol Chemical is not only a base oil manufacturer, but also a technical partner providing systematic lubrication solutions for customers.

03 Precise Service for Global Customers, Outstanding Achievements in Overseas Markets

Against the backdrop of the highly internationalized global lubricant base oil industry chain, Dowpol Chemical has long completed its strategic upgrade from "exporting products" to "exporting brands".

Currently, Dowpol's products have been widely used in multiple countries and regions across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa, with stable local partners in these areas. It is reported that the proportion of Dowpol's international business has exceeded 50%, making it one of the representative Chinese lubricant base oil enterprises in the "going global" initiative.

General Manager Deng stated in an interview: "When it comes to overseas customers, we treat them like carefully blended lubricating oil—we not only understand the needs of each customer, but also accurately address their pain points, providing them with high-performance products that meet both their requirements and specifications." It is precisely this customer-centric technical service philosophy that has enabled Dowpol Chemical to gain widespread recognition overseas.

04 Deepen Green Development and Explore New Paths in Lubrication

Against the global backdrop of "dual carbon" policies, Dowpol Chemical is also actively exploring a path toward green and low-carbon transformation. From energy conservation and emission reduction on the production side, to innovation in green technologies on the technical side, and further to collaborative cooperation across the industrial chain (both upstream and downstream), Dowpol Chemical is systematically integrating the concept of green development into all aspects of its business operations. "We aim to provide green and sustainable development solutions for the lubricant industry, and contribute Dowpol’s strength to the achievement of the industry’s dual carbon goals," General Manager Deng stated in an interview

Postscript

Standing at the crossroads of technological transformation and green transition, Dowpol Chemical has built the core competitiveness for its development through continuous independent innovation, and gradually established the industry benchmark of the "Chinese Solution" in the global lubricant base oil industry chain.

Lubrication Guidebook believes that in the future, Dowpol Chemical will continue to adhere to technology-driven development and quality first. With lubricating products featuring higher performance, greater efficiency and better environmental friendliness, it will inject "lubricating blood" into industrial equipment worldwide.
