Lubricant additives are a class of chemicals that improve the performance of lubricants. There are various types of lubricant additives, which can be classified into the following categories according to their functions and uses:
1. Antioxidants: Antioxidants are additives that can extend the service life of lubricants, inhibit the oxidation reaction of lubricants at high temperatures, and prevent lubricants from losing performance due to oxidation. Common antioxidants are diphenols, aromatic amines and so on.
2. Cleaning and dispersing agents: Cleaning and dispersing agents can effectively remove impurities and deposits in the engine to keep the engine clean. Cleaning and dispersing agent can also prevent the damage of sediment on the engine, prolonging the service life of the engine.
3. Extreme pressure anti-wear agent: extreme pressure anti-wear agent is a kind of additive that can reduce inter-metal friction and wear, which can effectively protect the engine parts and extend their life. Common extreme pressure antiwear agents are phosphates and sulfides, etc. 4.
4. Friction reducer: Friction reducer is a kind of additive that can reduce inter-metal friction, which can reduce the wear of mechanical parts, minimize energy loss and improve mechanical efficiency.
5. anti-foaming agent: anti-foaming agent is a kind of additive that can inhibit the lubricant from producing foam at high speed mixing or high temperature, which can effectively maintain the stability of the performance of the lubricant.
6. antiwear agent: antiwear agent is a kind of additive that can reduce inter-metal friction and wear, which can improve the wear resistance of mechanical parts and prolong their service life.
7. Anti-corrosion agent: Anti-corrosion agent is a kind of additive that can prevent corrosion of metal in wet environment, and can protect mechanical parts from corrosion.
8. Anti emulsifier: Anti emulsifier is a kind of additive that can prevent the lubricant from emulsifying when water and oil are mixed, and can keep the performance of lubricant stable.
These are some common types of lubricant additives. Different additives can be combined according to different needs and usage environments to improve the performance and service life of the lubricant. When choosing lubricant additives, they should be reasonably matched according to specific conditions to achieve the best results.
