Icematic

The Icematic brand of engineered lubricants from CPI Fluid Engineering offers solutions for all low GWP refrigerant gases – including both transitional and long-term options. There are two product ranges within the Icematic brand; The Icematic NXG series, which is designed for today’s transitional refrigerant gases and are ideal for operations that desire to utilize refrigerants offering lower GWP impacts; and The Icematic ECO series which is designed for long-term sustainable low GWP refrigerant applications and enables premier performance, reliability, and efficiency to achieve the lowest direct and indirect GWP impacts.


Launched in 2018, Icematic is a brand of CPI Fluid Engineering, part of the Lubrizol Corporation.

CPI was established to enhance modern life via fluid engineering, and aims to help advance the sectors it serves by supplying first-class engineered performance fluids, innovative collaboration and unrivalled support.

Known as an international expert for engineering fluids designed for challenging applications in heat transfer and compression, CPI’s ambitions are clearly expressed in its Icematic range.

Icematic features engineered fluid solutions designed to work with low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants. The brand includes lubricants compatible with all low GWP refrigeration gases currently in use.

This includes transitional refrigerants but also long-term options. Committed to the future, CPI is dedicated to promoting the use of the latest GWP refrigerants by engineering world-class lubricants that are miscible with them. As a result, when users select the Icematic brand, they are also choosing change and sustainability.

Icematic refrigeration lubricants

The launch of the Icematic brand solidified CPI Fluid engineering’s leadership as an advanced lubricant solutions provider for the refrigeration industry on an international scale.

For decades, its renowned Emkarate RL brand has acted as the lubricant of choice for users of systems employing hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, supplying superior performance and dependability. With the Icematic® brand added to its portfolio of fluids, CPI has strengthened its offering at a time when the refrigeration industry is transitioning towards a sustainable future.

The Icematic brand supplies two different product series designed to serve the specific needs of the refrigeration industry. The Icematic NXG series is designed for use with modern transitional refrigerant gases while providing lower GWP impacts. The process of lowering the impact of refrigerants on the environment is a critical step towards achieving sustainability.

The second product line is the Icematic ECO series, specifically engineered for applications involving long-term and sustainable low GWP refrigerants. Icematic ECO is designed to provide premier performance levels, efficiency and reliability, to achieve both the lowest indirect and direct GWP impacts.

Managing levels of complexity for the global refrigeration industry

The world’s refrigeration industry is steadily transitioning towards reaching a more sustainable future, but creating change is not possible without overcoming considerable challenges.

Today, important industry stakeholders are facing the task of navigating a complicated landscape, as lawmakers and regulatory bodies across the world work to find a way to best answer the serious issue of global warming.

Manufacturers of refrigerant gasses are acting responsibly, by responding to the regulatory pressure applied in a positive way and developing a wider range of all-new lower GWP refrigerant options.

Original equipment manufacturers are now making refrigerant choices that balance safety and regulatory compliance with technical requirements like performance. Through its Icematic brand, CPI Fluid Engineering is dedicated to partnering with sector stakeholders to help them navigate these practical challenges that require nuanced solutions.

Selecting the correct partner for lubricant navigation

Finding and selecting the correct lubricant solutions partner to work with is a crucial decision when companies must navigate the complex landscape of low GWP applications. The optimum partner collaborates to comprehend the challenges involved, provides expert guidance and supplies innovative solutions. These three key elements are areas that CPI and its Icematic brand excel at.

Effective innovation needs substantial financial and technical resources. CPI supplies advanced testing capabilities that include both PVT (production validation tests) and simulated compressor laboratory trials, and provides real-world data that helps bring lubrication solutions to market much faster.
With the might of the Lubrizol Corporation behind them, CPI Fluid Engineering has unmatched technical support and resources at its disposal.

Networking is also key to CPIs approach. Significant involvement working alongside industry associations like IIAR and ASHRAE allows CPI to play an important role in forming the future for the refrigeration industry.

Solutions such as the Icematic range is the product of collaboration with leading refrigerant gas manufacturers and OEMs.

For more than 45 years, CPI Fluid Engineering has helped companies navigate refrigeration challenges with customers counting on their adaptability, insights and leadership in the lubrication market. Icematic is the product of CPIs’ decades of experience working in the field of refrigeration, applying its deep understanding of the relationship between lubricants and refrigerants and complex problem-solving capabilities.
