VCS 10001 is a multifunctional additive for use in preparing hydraulic fluids. When formulated in a suitable base stock, VCS 10001 imparts the following benefits:
Vertical Chemical Solutions (VCS) is a division of ProFluid, LLC focused on manufacturing and marketing specialty chemical, grease, lubricant, and additive products throughout the Americas. For nearly a decade, the team has operated “behind the scenes” in the industry, supplying reliable, high-quality solutions to formulators and manufacturers.
VCS offers component packages, additive packages, and base stocks used in lubricants, greases, and specialty fluids. These include tractor, hydraulic, PCMO/HDEO, gear, grease, NGEO, TO-4 additive packages, dispersant succinimides (PIBSI), succinimide anhydrides, viscosity index improvers, as well as Group III+/synthetic base stocks like PAOs and GTLs.
Our core focus on the VCS Products page is components and additive packages—such as tractor, hydraulic, PCMO/HDEO, gear, grease, and NGEO additive packages, plus base stocks and VI improvers—for customers who are blending or formulating their own finished products. In some cases we can support finished or semi-finished solutions through ProFluid; please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Start with your target application and performance requirements—such as OEM specifications, viscosity grade, service category, and operating environment. Our product groups (Tractor Additive Packages, Hydraulic Additive Packages, PCMO/HDEO, Gear, Grease, NGEO, etc.) are organized by end-use, and our technical team can help you match a specific VCS package (e.g., VCS 1010, VCS 10050, VCS 2001) to your formulation targets.
Yes. Our team regularly helps customers upgrade or re-engineer formulations to meet new OEM, API/ACEA, or regulatory requirements. We can recommend additive packages, VI improvers, PIBSI, base stocks, or other components to help meet your performance and compliance targets while managing cost and complexity.
You can use the TDS/SDS request form linked on the VCS Products page to specify the product codes you’re interested in, or contact us directly via the Contact page. We’ll provide the latest TDS/SDS and can walk through any technical questions you may have.
Yes. Our products are developed and supplied with regulatory compliance in mind, and detailed information is provided in the SDS and supporting documentation. If you have site-specific or regional regulatory questions (e.g., for export), our regulatory team can confirm status and provide any required documentation.
VCS/ProFluid participates in key industry organizations such as STLE, ILMA, and NLGI, underscoring our commitment to technical excellence and best practices in lubrication and grease technology.
Many of our PCMO, HDEO, gear, and specialty additive packages are designed with specific industry and OEM performance targets in mind—such as API SN/CI-4, SP/GF-6, Euro ACEA categories, and various OEM sequences cited in the product names. We can share formulation guidance and performance expectations based on your target specification set.
Yes. Our portfolio includes products suitable for vegetable oils, ester stocks, fire-resistant (FR) hydraulic fluids, and low-ash NGEO applications, as well as additive technology designed to support longer life and higher efficiency. Sustainability and performance go hand-in-hand in our product development.
Absolutely. Along with TDS/SDS documentation, we can provide typical treat rate ranges, base oil compatibility guidance (e.g., PAO, Group III+, GTL, vegetable/ester), and recommended blending practices. Our technical team is available to support lab trials, pilot blends, and field evaluations as needed.
Packaging options depend on the specific additive or base stock, but typical formats include drums, totes, and bulk. For certain products we may also offer smaller containers for lab and pilot work. Please let us know your expected volume and logistics needs so we can recommend the best option.
Lead times and MOQs vary by product type and shipping location. Many “Active” products are stocked or available on short lead times, while custom or “In Development” items may have longer timelines. Once we know your forecast, location, and packaging requirements, we can provide specific lead-time and MOQ guidance.
Yes. VCS was established specifically to manufacture and market products throughout the Americas. We work with customers in North, Central, and South America and can coordinate export documentation, logistics, and delivery options suitable for your region.
In most cases, yes. We can provide lab-scale or pilot-scale samples to support your formulation work and testing. Simply identify the product codes you’re interested in (for example, VCS 10050, VCS 8900, GTL 3, PAO 40) and we’ll help arrange appropriate sample quantities.
