Hydraulic oils and oil additives
Hydraulic fluid selection is very important because today’s hydraulic systems operate at harsh conditions consisting of high pressure, high temperature and high speed. An effective...
2D nanomaterials as lubricant additives
Heat generation and distribution during friction can lead to a large amount of energy loss. Friction-related wear can lead to serious problems such as damage...
Additive types
Today, extensive research continues to achieve high performance in lubricants, because the properties of current lubricants in today’s technology are still not perfect. Lubricant additives...
Extreme pressure and lubricity tribological additives
E xtreme Pressure (EP) additives contain compounds that enter into chemical reaction with coactivating friction pair materials.In this way, new compounds are formed to create...
Additive types 3
Detergent and dispersant additives: Detergent and dispersant additives are designed to control the carbon and oxidation, sludge, varnish, lacquer and other solid materials that are...
Additive types
Oxidation inhibitors: Oxidation reactions are exothermic and very complex reactions. Oxidation in lubricants that contain paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons may lead to the formation of...
Additive types
Freezing Point Depressants (FPD): Hydrocarbons, which form the basis of lubricating oils, tend to solidify at low temperatures. Such additives are high molecular weight polymers....
