Navigating the Changing Lubricant Landscape with New Additives
Dr. Stuart McTavish | Market Development Director, SI Group
Many traditional additives used in the fuel and lubricant industry are facing tighter regulatory scrutiny, resulting in increased safety labeling and desire to move to more sustainable alternatives.
New additives are being developed with improved regulatory and safety profiles to meet these new challenges, contributing to increased sustainability of the lubricant industry.
The presentation will show recent developments and performance data of new antioxidant and antiwear additives for automotive fluids & engine oils, industrial lubricants & fluids, and greases:
- Reprotoxic free alternative to traditional diphenylamine antioxidants for automotive and industrial lubes & greases
- New high performance antioxidant formulations for industrial lubricants & greases to further increase lubricant lifetime, or enable increased sustainability by using lower treat rates to achieve existing performance levels
- Performance antioxidants for bio-hydraulic fluids to further increase lifetime and enable increased sustainability
- New phosphite antiwear additive with improved safety & regulatory profile over traditional phosphite antiwear additives used in driveline fluids and greases
