"The share of friction-related costs in a car constitutes a significant part of operational expenses and can reach 20-30% of total fuel consumption, depending on driving conditions and vehicle condition. These costs are made up of rolling resistance of tires (up to 20%) and friction in the transmission, engine, and other components (about 10%)."
"As the founder of SCT Chemicals FZE, Juri Sudheimer emphasizes, modern understanding of the role of friction modifiers goes far beyond simply reducing the coefficient of friction. "Our task is not just to create a slippery surface, but to form optimal tribological conditions for each specific friction unit, taking into account the region's extreme climatic conditions," Juri underscores."
"This philosophy formed the basis for the development of modern lubricants at the fully automated SCT Chemicals plant in Dubai, where, since February 2022, continuous work has been carried out to improve the formulas of friction modifiers adapted to the Middle East climate. A team of 188 specialists, led by Development Director Erik Sudheimer, creates a wide range of high-quality oils and lubricants, each containing carefully selected friction modifiers for operation at temperatures up to +50°C."
Friction-related losses can consume 20–30% of a car's fuel, with rolling resistance of tires accounting for up to 20% and drivetrain and engine friction roughly 10%. Friction modifiers aim to reduce friction while creating optimal tribological conditions tailored to each friction unit and local climatic extremes. SCT Chemicals developed specialized formulations at a fully automated Dubai plant since February 2022, adapting additives for Middle East temperatures up to +50°C. A team of 188 specialists led by a development director formulates a wide range of oils and lubricants with selected friction modifiers. Base oils often lack sufficient lubricity, and component metallurgy can require specific chemical compositions. Traditional additives may be too chemically aggressive for softer non-ferrous metals such as bronze used in worm gears.
