In fact, it is estimated that half of the world鈥檚 consumers use at least one of products at any one time, thanks to the huge number of applications of its advanced materials and additives.
尝耻产谤颈锄辞濒鈥檚 8,800-strong global workforce innovate sustainable and measurable solutions every day as part of the company鈥檚 mission to help the world Move Cleaner, Create Smarter and Live Better.
And that鈥檚 a matter of pride for Derbyshire, as the company - part of the wider Lubrizol Corporation owned by Berkshire Hathaway - has a Centre for Excellence right here in Hazelwood, near Belper.
It鈥檚 a base which employs almost 400 highly trained staff and develops and manufactures coatings and additives for a wide range of industries including transportation, industrial, printing, textiles, emerging technology and cosmetics.
It also develops additives and performance polymers for the automotive, fuel and industrial sectors.

Despite its global reach, Lubrizol 海角视频 is deeply embedded in the local community, each year giving thousands of pounds to local charities and organisations.
It stepped forward during the Covid-19 crisis to donate latex gloves, face masks and safety glasses to the Royal Derby Hospital as well as a community group in Loughborough whose members worked with the NHS to deliver prescriptions and other goods to vulnerable people.
And Lubrizol 海角视频 is a champion of local businesses which - like it - strive to operate in a manner which is responsible, ethical and sustainable: the company sponsored the Community Contribution category in last year鈥檚 Derbyshire Live Business Award.
鈥淲e may be a global company, but we understand that it is as important to carry out our Move Cleaner, Create Smarter, Live Better mission on a community level as it is on a world scale,鈥 says Mike Pritchett, general manager of Lubrizol, Hazelwood.
