The lubricant additives consists of various additives used to enhance the performance and properties of lubricants.

Base oils serve as the main component of lubricants, while specialities refer to specialized additives designed for specific applications or lubricant types.

Please note that some products, such as Group III base oils and POA (Polyalphaolefin), are mentioned in both the lubricant additives and base oils categories because they can serve as additives or base oils depending on the specific formulation and application.

POA

Grease

Grease is a semi-solid lubricant that consists of a thickening agent, such as a metallic soap, dispersed in a liquid lubricant. It provides long-lasting lubrication, protection against contaminants, and resistance to water washout, making it suitable for specific applications. It is commonly used to lubricate moving parts where fluid oils may not be suitable or practical.

Hydraulic

Hydraulic additives are specialized additives used in hydraulic systems. They enhance the performance and properties of hydraulic fluids, such as viscosity stability, anti-wear protection, oxidation resistance, and corrosion prevention, ensuring efficient and reliable hydraulic system operation.

POA (Polyalphaolefin)

POA is a synthetic hydrocarbon-based oil that is commonly used as a base oil in various lubricants and industrial fluidsas a viscosity modifier. It offers excellent thermal stability, high viscosity index, good lubricity, and enhanced performance in extreme temperature conditions.

Esters

Esters are a type of synthetic lubricant base oil derived from the reaction between an acid and an alcohol. They are known for their excellent lubricating properties, high thermal stability, and compatibility with a wide range of materials. They are often used as viscosity modifiers to improve the performance of lubricants.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are chemical additives used in lubricants to prevent or delay the oxidation of the oil. They help maintain the lubricant's performance by inhibiting the formation of sludge, varnish, and deposits caused by oxidative degradation. They help maintain lubricant performance and extend the life of the lubricant.

Detergents

Detergents are additives used in lubricants to clean and remove deposits from engine components. They help prevent the formation of sludge, carbon, and varnish, ensuring the efficient operation and longevity of the machinery.

Lubricity

EP (Extreme Pressure) anti-wear

EP or extreme pressure additives are substances added to lubricants to provide protection against high-pressure and high-load conditions. They form a protective film on metal surfaces, reducing wear and preventing surface damage under extreme operating conditions.

Corrosion

Corrosion inhibitors are additives used in lubricants to protect metal surfaces from corrosion and rust. They form a protective barrier, preventing moisture and corrosive elements from coming into contact with the metal, thereby extending equipment life.

Lubricity

Lubricity is a lubricant additive that provides a reduction in friction and wear between moving surfaces. It improves the lubricant's ability to form a protective film, enhancing the smooth operation and longevity of machinery.

Fuel Additives

Fuel additives are chemical substances added to fuels to improve their performance, efficiency, and combustion characteristics. These additives can enhance fuel stability, prevent deposits, reduce emissions, improve combustion efficiency, and address specific challenges associated with different types of engines and fuel formulations.

CFPP

Gasoline

Gasoline additives are chemical compounds added to gasoline to improve its performance and characteristics. They can enhance fuel efficiency, prevent deposits, reduce emissions, and provide protection against engine wear.

CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) improvers

CFPP is a parameter used to determine the low-temperature operability of fuels and lubricants. It indicates the temperature at which the fuel or lubricant starts to form wax crystals that can potentially clog filters, causing operational issues. CFPP improvers are additives that lower the temperature at which fuel or lubricants start to form wax crystals, reducing the risk of clogged filters and ensuring smooth operation in cold weather conditions.

Emulsifiers Additives

Emulsifiers are substances that facilitate the mixing of two or more immiscible substances, typically liquids such as oil and water, to form a stable emulsion. In the context of lubricants and industrial fluids, emulsifiers help disperse water or other incompatible fluids into the lubricant, allowing for improved performance in certain applications and preventing the separation of different phases.

Emulsion

Emulsion explosive surfactant

An emulsion explosive surfactant is a chemical compound used in the formulation of emulsion explosives. These surfactants help in stabilizing the emulsion, which is a mixture of oxidizers, fuel, and water, used for explosive applications. This is crucial for safety and optimal explosive performance.

Industrial Additives

Industrial additives are chemical compounds used in various industrial processes to enhance the properties or performance of materials. These additives can be incorporated into lubricants, fuels, coatings, polymers, and other materials to achieve specific functions such as improving stability, increasing viscosity, enhancing durability, and providing corrosion resistance.
