Afton Chemical Corporation Company Profile
Performance enhancers aren't just the products advertised on late night TV and in the back of men's magazines. Afton Chemical manufactures additives that improve the effectiveness of fuels and lubricants. The company was formed in 2004 from the additives division of NewMarket, which had been called Ethyl before switching to a holding company structure and dividing its business into two operating subsidiaries: Afton and Ethyl. Afton divides its own products into fuel additives (which improve the refining process and boost the performance of gasoline and other fuels) and lubricant additives (which improve the performance, functionality, and durability of oils).
