New Ashless, Hydrolytically Stable and FZG Active Antiwear Agent

Abstract

Abstract Present industrial market needs require many lubricants to provide adequate long-term performance in a given application, to be compatible with components and typical contaminants found in the system, and to be environmentally acceptable. The aim of this paper is to show that a new ashless antiwear FZG agent meets these current market trends by presenting detailed evaluations of several aspects of its performance. These will include its superior FZG activity, minimal detrimental effects on the oxidation, thermal, and hydrolytic stability of resulting formulated lubricants, and compatibility with various system contaminants in typical industrial formulations. Finally, the performance of this new FZG active ashless antiwear agent was compared to those formulated with antiwear technology presently available in the industrial lubricants' market sector.
