Special Handling
Viscosity Modifier (VM) additives are sensitive to contamination. The most common problems result from their direct contact
with other concentrated motor oil and gear oil additives. Very small levels of additive contamination can produce gels that are
difficult to solubilize in oil.
For this reason, it is imperative that all equipment to be used in the manufacture and transfer of VM additives be thoroughly
cleaned and inspected to ensure no residue from previous additives is present. Ideally, the system should be dedicated to
handling VM additives only.
Quality Control
It should be noted that the viscosity of the concentrate should not be used as a measure of the amount of polymer in solution.
The thickening contributed by the polymer to the finished lubricant may vary slightly from batch to batch but is guaranteed to
be limited to a range corresponding to the following parmeters: An 10.0% by weight solution of LUBRIZOL® 7077 in a HVI-
200N paraffinic base stock (95 VI minimum, viscosity @ 100 degrees C=6.1 cSt) will have a viscosity @ 100 degrees C, cSt of
12.5(min) - 13.0(max).

Notes
Additional Recommendations
A higher storage temperature may be required due to viscosity at 45°C.* Holding the material in excess of this temperature
may cause chemicaldegradation.Use steam for heating and tracing only when the material is in motionto avoid localized
overheating.Cold Temperature Storage - If product has been stored below its pourpoint temperatureit should be heated to 21°
C/70°F before using.
