SBZ Extreme Pressure/Anti-Wear Additives are suitable for manufacturing compressor and hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and greases to produce high-performance industrial lubricants to protect across a wide range of applications.
Extreme pressure
additives react with metal surfaces during operation at high pressures and
temperatures, creating a protective layer that reduces wear between two mating
metal surfaces. Anti-wear additives perform similarly but tend to operate under
lower pressures and temperatures.
Anti-wear additives
used are based on Fats, Zinc, and Phosphates. Such additives are common
ingredients in hydraulic oils. Extreme Pressure (EP) additives, based on Sulphur
and/or Chlorine, apply to applications where temperatures and loads are very
high, such as in gearbox applications.
Extreme Pressure
additives are usually used under heavier loads, at high temperatures, and at
low speeds to prevent catastrophic failure or seizing of the application.
Common examples of Extreme Pressure additives are molybdenum disulfide,
graphite, sulphurised olefins, and dialkyl dithiocarbamate complexes.
SBZ Extreme Pressure/Anti-Wear Additives
are suitable for manufacturing compressor and hydraulic fluids, gear oils, and
greases to produce high-performance industrial lubricants to protect at high
pressure and temperature where contaminants may be present.
