Lubricant additives are organic or inorganic compounds dissolved or suspended as solids in oil. They typically range between 0.1 to 30 percent of the oil volume, depending on the machine. …

Learn how lubricant additives play a pivotal role in extending the lifespan and efficiency of machinery by improving base oil properties.

two types of additives: bulk oil additives and surface additives. Bulk additives affect the rheological, interfacial and chemical properties of the lubricant, and surfac

Oil additives are chemical compounds that improve the lubricant performance of base oil (or oil "base stock"). The manufacturer of many oils can use the same base stock for each formulation and can choose different additives for each use.

In gasoline and diesel fuels, ExxonMobil Product Solutions fluids carry the active ingredients of additive formulations to meet fuel specifications and enhance performance. These fluids also serve as carriers for chemical packages used in refining processes, such as foamers, demulsifiers, and corrosion and fouling inhibitors.

2023年5月4日 · Lubricant additives are organic or inorganic compounds that makeup about 0.1 to 30 percent of the finished lubricating oil, depending on the intended application of the lubricant. Three basic functions of additives are: to improve existing base oil properties, to suppress undesirable base oil properties, and to impart new properties to base oils.

These lubricant additives are used in multigrade engine oils, gear oils, automatic transmission fluids, power-steering fluids, greases, and some hydraulic fluids.

A lubricant performs a number of critical functions. These include lubrication, cooling, cleaning and suspending, and protecting metal surfaces against corrosive damage. Lubricant comprises a base fluid and an additive package. The primary function of the base fluid is to lubricate and act as a carrier of additives.

Anti-wear additives prevent direct metal-to-metal contact between the machine parts when the oil film is broken down. Use of anti-wear additives results in longer machine life due to higher wear and score resistance of the components.

2023年4月21日 · Formulated lubricants are various combinations of base oils and additives. Additives reduce friction, dissipate heat, keep machine components clean, suspend carbon, sludge and varnish deposits and prevent metal damage due to wear, oxidation, and corrosion.
