Lubricant Additives - Chemistry and Applications

Klappentext The lubrication additive market has undergone change due to rising costs, environmental concerns, legislative change, and new engine oil requirements, as well as from technology development related to space and ocean exploration. Reflecting how the need for new applications drives the development of new lubricant additives, this book covers methods for improving the performance, efficiency, and stability of lubricants, protecting metal surfaces from wear, and selecting lubricant additives for the food processing industry. It also describes standard lubricant testing methods and product specifications, the mechanisms and benefits of specific types of lubricant additives, and recent industry trends. Zusammenfassung Reflecting how the need for new applications drives the development of new lubricant additives, this book presents methods to: improve the performance, efficiency, and stability of lubricants; protect metal surfaces from wear; select lubricant additives for the food processing industry; and select the most appropriate ashless additives.
