DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY VISCOPLEX and VISCOBASE products from the DRIVON technology toolbox are true design elements for fuel efficiency. DRIVON products provide an expanded performance envelope that enables superior viscometrics and is also able to improve the dispersion of oxidation products, as well as wet clutch and steel/steel tribology. Some of the most valuable assets in the DRIVON technology toolbox are VISCOPLEX comb polymers whose well-defined architecture drives the viscosity/ temperature relationship to the extremes of outstanding fuel efficiency performance. Backed by world-class innovation and application capabilities, DRIVON technology provides premium fuel efficiency with global supply and technical support. Evonik meets specific custom lubricant requirements and enables tailored powertrain fluids. CONTROLLING VISCOSITY INDEX-PAMA VS.

3-4% FUEL EFFICIENCY VIA DRIVON TECHNOLOGY Axle fluids Engine oil Transmission fluids (MTF, ATF, CVTF, DCTF) FUEL EFFICIENCY FROM COMB POLYMERS Based on Evonik s poly alkylmethacrylate, or PAMA technology, comb polymers offer a unique polymer architecture for the lubricant industry. The flexibility of the polar backbone in the comb polymer is designed to allow the large molecules to collapse at low temperatures. As temperatures increase, the backbone swells, allowing the expansion of the molecule. This results in a desired thickening effect, while maintaining the other positive attributes gained from use of PAMA technology. mechanical shearing of the lubricant. Comb polymers have even been shown to reduce fuel consumption by 3-4 percent across the powertrain, helping automotive manufacturers meet challenging requirements. DRIVON TECHNOLOGY FOR ENGINE OILS When compared to conventional engine viscosity improvers, DRIVON technology demonstrates significant fuel efficiency advantages. As part of Evonik s DRIVON technology platform, comb polymers improve the viscosity performance of powertrain lubricants over a wide temperature range. In addition, comb polymers work within the components of a powertrain to enhance durability and control viscosity, even under severe DRIVON technology has superior performance results when compared to conventional OCP formulations in the chassis dyno fuel efficiency test. 5
