Differences between extreme pressure additives and lubricating additives
Additives are mainly antioxidant antiseptic, antiwear agent, friction improving agent (also known as oily agent), extreme pressure additives, detergents, dispersants, anti-foam agent, anti-emulsifier, rust inhibitor Coagulants, viscosity index improvers and other types. The additives sold in the market are generally more than one of the single additive compound, the difference is that the composition of a single additive and composite additives within the proportion of several single additives only.
Adding one or more compounds in the lubricant to give the lubricant a certain characteristic or to improve some of the properties already present in the lubricant. The role of additives is to improve the performance of base oils and to add new properties. Existing properties include: viscosity, viscosity index, pour point and oxidation resistance. New features include: cleaning and suspension capacity, abrasion resistance and corrosion inhibition
Extreme Pressure Additive Extreme Pressure Additive: An additive that reacts with a contact metal surface to form a high melting inorganic film to prevent sintering, biting, scratches or scratches under high loads.
