Description

What is T-butyl Phenyl Phosphate PSAIL 3220B?

PSAIL 3220B is a high-performance, ashless organophosphate additive. Its core chemical identity is tert-butyl phenyl phosphate (CAS 78-33-1). It belongs to a class of specialty phosphate esters that function as a multifunctional additive, primarily serving as an extreme-pressure (EP) and anti-wear agent. Unlike some traditional additives that contain metals or sulfur/chlorine, its "ashless" nature means it leaves no solid deposits upon thermal decomposition, making it suitable for demanding and sensitive applications. It serves a dual purpose as both a critical additive and, in higher concentrations, as a fire-resistant base fluid.

Features of T-butyl Phenyl Phosphate PSAIL 3220B:

Ashless Formulation: Contains no metals, preventing catalytic degradation of the oil and the formation of sludge or deposits.

High Load-Carrying Capacity: Provides exceptional protection against scuffing, scoring, and seizure under boundary lubrication conditions.

Multifunctional Performance: Combines extreme pressure, anti-wear, rust inhibition, and antioxidant properties in a single molecule.

Excellent Synergism: Works effectively alongside other EP/anti-wear additives (e.g., sulfur-phosphorus compounds) to enhance overall performance.

Broad Compatibility: Exhibits good solubility in a wide range of mineral oils and synthetic base stocks (e.g., PAOs, esters).

Inherent Fire Resistance: Possesses natural fire-resistant properties due to its phosphate ester structure, qualifying it for use in fire-resistant hydraulic fluids (HFDU type per ISO standards).

Energy Efficiency: Helps reduce friction, contributing to lower energy consumption in mechanical systems.

Functions of T-butyl Phenyl Phosphate PSAIL 3220B:

Extreme Pressure (EP) Protection: Under high-load, low-speed conditions, it forms a protective sacrificial film on metal surfaces. This film prevents direct metal-to-metal contact and welding.

Anti-Wear Action: Under moderate loads, it forms a durable adsorbed film or reacts to form a low-shear iron phosphate layer, reducing wear and prolonging component life.

Friction Modification: Helps lower the coefficient of friction in boundary lubrication regimes, improving efficiency.

Corrosion & Rust Inhibition: Protects ferrous metal surfaces from corrosion and rust caused by moisture and acidic byproducts.

Oxidation Inhibition: Improves the oil's resistance to oxidative degradation, thereby extending the service life of the lubricant.

Fire Resistance: When used as a base fluid or major component, it provides high flash and fire points, enhancing operational safety in high-temperature or ignition-risk environments.

Applications of T-butyl Phenyl Phosphate PSAIL 3220B:

Industrial Gear Oils: For heavily loaded enclosed gears, worm gears, and industrial gearboxes.

Hydraulic Oils: As an EP/anti-wear additive in high-pressure vane and piston pumps, and as the primary base fluid for synthetic, fire-resistant Hydraulic Fluids (HFDU).

Metalworking Fluids: Used in neat cutting oils, grinding oils, and other lubricants for severe machining operations (e.g., tapping, broaching, gear hobbing).

Greases: Imparts EP and anti-wear properties to greases used in bearings and joints under heavy loads or shock loads.

Compressor Oils: For certain types of compressors where lubricity and stability are critical.

Specialty Lubricants: For applications requiring a combination of high load protection, thermal stability, and fire safety.

Price of T-butyl Phenyl Phosphate PSAIL 3220B:

The price of T-butyl Phenyl Phosphate PSAIL 3220B may vary depending on factors such as quantity, quality, and the supplier's pricing structure. To obtain accurate pricing information, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly.
