DIC Algae Oil Sulfurized Extreme Pressure Additives Present Promising Alternatives to Lard Oils and Vegetable Oils in Lubricating Oils, Metalworking Fluids, and Greases
Matsueda notes, “With the rise of EVs, we expect higher demand for larger automobile parts, increasing press processing and creating demand for sulfurized oils.

- We believe KS-519 performs better than conventional sulfurized oils and provides greater sustainability than vegetable-based oils.”
“KS-519 also benefits cutting oil processes by reducing energy usage. - Manufacturers prefer using low-viscosity lubricating oils for cutting processes, as lubricants must spread to corners during machining.
- Checkerspot CEO and Co-founder Charles Dimmler says, "We’re excited to work with DIC to commercialize the world’s first algae oil-based high-performance sulfurized EP additive.
