Editors at Lube Reports sister publication,LubesnGreasesmagazine, have just capped off a decade of producing our yearly Lubricants Industry Factbook. The 10th edition of this valuable guide is packed with eye-opening information about lubricant industry trends, statistics and standards.
Wonder where U.S. base oil exports are flowing? See page 25. Worried about the future impact of electric vehicles? Get an idea of where that trend is headed on page 34. Whether youre trying to license an engine oil (page 18), learn the basics of additive chemistry (page 42) or get a look at lubricant sales by product (page 6) — this 44-page book holds the answers.
After 10 years, our editors and designers have nearly perfected the presentation of this information and much more, and youll want to keep this manual on your desk all year. Unlike most reference works, the Factbook is copiously illustrated throughout with striking, colorful graphics to deliver quick comprehension and visual impact.
