LUBRIZOL UNVEILS BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES AT ASIA-PACIFIC INNOVATION SUMMIT

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- Lubrizol, a global leader in speciality chemicals, gathered over 150 industry leaders, technical experts, and strategic partners at its inaugural Asia-Pacific Innovation Summit in Shanghai.

Participants explored emerging trends in material science, discussed innovation-driven collaboration, and identified new pathways for sustainable industry growth, building a strong foundation for turning visionary ideas into tangible solutions.

“Diversified and rapidly evolving market demands are reshaping traditional industry models, propelling us toward an era of collaborative growth and value co-creation.

“Lubrizol remains deeply committed to a strategy that combines global perspective with strong local engagement. With an open and agile mindset, we position ourselves as a co-creator within the innovation ecosystem, placing market needs at the core,” said Lubrizol Vice President, Asia Pacific, Henry Liu in a statement.

The summit marked the regional debut of several pioneering technologies, highlighting Lubrizol’s commitment to improving lives and driving sustainable progress through material innovation.

Lubrizol introduced a comprehensive package of additive technologies designed to meet China VII regulations for commercial vehicles and the ongoing electrification requirements for passenger vehicles, alongside a new waterborne acrylic emulsion for sustainable food packaging, free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polyethylene film.

In biotech skincare, the company unveiled Lectroglaze, the industry’s first cosmetic active ingredient powered by electrogenic bacteria. Its prebiotic effect stimulates the skin microbiome to produce bioelectricity, neutralising free radicals and preventing oxidative damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) light and ageing.

Recently, Lubrizol launched its Southeast Asia Innovation Center in Singapore and opened a new office in Jakarta, while expanding production capacity for medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane in Shanghai, strengthening regional collaboration, innovation, and manufacturing capabilities.

Through these initiatives, Lubrizol aims to accelerate the transformation of ideas into tangible solutions, supporting sustainable growth and value creation across industries in the Asia-Pacific region.
