Solutions

    Lubricating oil additives are vital chemical compounds added to lubricating oils to impart specific properties to the finished oils. Additives, in improving the performance characteristics of lubricating oils, have aided significantly in the development of improved prime movers and industrial machinery.

    Nearly all commercial motor oils contain additives, whether the oils are synthetic or petroleum based. Modern passenger car engines, automatic transmissions, hypoid gears, railroad and marine diesel engines, high speed gas and steam turbines, and industrial processing machinery, as well as many other types of equipment, would have been greatly retarded in their development were it not for additives and the performance benefits they provide.

     The manufacturer of many different oils can utilize the same base oils for each formulation and can choose different additives for each specific application.

Components

We usually call lubricant components "single additive" in Chinese meaning, they could be used to meet some specific requirements of the oils.

1. To control chemical breakdown

◎ Detergent additives are used to clean and neutralize oil impurities which would normally cause deposits (oil sludge) on the engine parts. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

   LD-04 Lowbased Synthetic Calcium Sulfonate(TBN 20-50)

   LD-05 Middlebased Synthetic Calcium Sulfonate(TBN 145)

   LD-06 Overbased Synthetic Calcium Sulfonate(TBN 295)

   LD-6S Overbased Synthetic Calcium Sulfonate(TBN 400)

   LD-15B Calcium Sulfurized Alkyl Phenate

◎ Corrosion or rust inhibitors retard the oxidation of metal inside an engine. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

ZDDP series:

Rust inhibitors:

◎ Antioxidants retard the degradation of the stock oil by oxidation. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

◎ Metal deactivators create a film on metal surfaces to prevent the metal from causing the oil to be oxidized. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

2. For viscosity

◎Viscosity Index Improvers make oil’s viscosity higher at elevated temperatures, improving its viscosity index (VI). This combats the tendency of the oil to become thin at high temperature.  Most multi-grade oils have Viscosity Index Improvers. Some synthetic oils are engineered to meet multi-grade specifications without them. The typical products in Anneng are the series products of OCP,PMA.

OCP series:

PMA

◎Pour point depressants improve the oil's ability to flow at lower temperatures. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

3.For lubricity

◎ Friction modifiers or friction reducers, like organic molybdenum compound, are used for increasing fuel economy by reducing friction between moving parts. Friction modifiers alter the lubricity of the base oil. Whale oil was used historically. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

◎ Extreme pressure agents bond to metal surfaces, keeping them from touching even at high pressure. Antiwear additives or wear inhibiting additives cause a film to surround metal parts, helping to keep them separated. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate or zinc dithiophosphates are typically used.

4.For contaminant control

◎ Dispersants keep contaminants (e.g. soot) suspended in the oil to prevent them from coagulating. The typical products in Anneng are as follows:

Additive Packages

As we know, the base oils could not have only one performance when formulating the lubricating oils, so we need one product which could meet almost all-purpose functions for the oils. The additive package is the product that could be used directly without adding other functional components, and could meet the requirements for API quality grades. It is the trend of the developments of lubricants and is full of professional technology, what's more, it is more economical.

◎ Additive package for Engine/Motor oils

◎ Additive package for Gear oils

◎ Additive package for hydraulic oils

◎ Other additive package
