EP (Extreme Pressure) and AW (Anti-Wear) additives include a range of chemical compounds designed to protect machinery and equipment surfaces under various operating conditions.
Metalworking fluid additives are chemical compounds added to metalworking fluids to enhance their performance in various metalworking processes.
Metalworking fluid additives possess a range of characteristics that contribute to enhancing the performance of metalworking fluids during various metalworking processes.
Metal deactivators are chemical additives that work to neutralize the catalytic effect of metal surfaces on the oxidation of lubricants, fuels, and other fluids.
Lubricant additives are chemical compounds that are mixed with base oils to enhance the performance, efficiency, and longevity of lubricants.
Lubricant additives are organic or inorganic compounds dissolved or suspended as solids in oil
Examples include magnesium stearate (most widely used lubricant), stearic acid, hydrogenated vegetable oil, mineral oil, and talc (generally requires high concentrations ~5%).








Introduction to the metal deactivators
Metal deactivators, or metal passivators, are additives designed to inhibit the catalytic activity of metal ions that accelerate the degradation of materials like lubricants.
