Lubricating oil is the "golden blood" of mechanical equipment, playing the role of lubrication, cooling, rust prevention, cleaning, sealing and buffering. Lubricating oil is generally composed of two parts:
Base Oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil and determines the basic properties of lubricating oil. Additives are an important part of lubricating oil, which can make up for the deficiencies in the performance of base oil, and are used to improve the performance of lubricating oil or give it some new characteristics.
According to the different functions of additives, lubricating oil additives can be divided into antioxidants, anti-wear agents, friction modifiers (also known as oiliness agents), extreme pressure additives, detergents, dispersants, foam inhibitors, anti-corrosion and anti-rust agents, anti-emulsifiers, viscosity index improvers and other types. Today we focus onRust Preventative Anti-rust Additive .
Adding anti-corrosion and rust-proof agents to lubricating oil can form a protective film on the metal surface, preventing oxygen in the air from oxidizing the metal surface, and preventing the metal surface from being corroded by water, acids, alkalis and other chemicals. It can effectively extend the service life of lubricating oil, improve lubrication effect and reduce maintenance costs.
The role of anti-rust additives in lubricating oil is to prevent metal parts from rusting and ensure the normal operation of the engine.
Rust inhibitors, also known as corrosion inhibitors, are an important additive in lubricating oils. Their main function is to prevent rust caused by oxidation during the use of lubricating oils, thereby extending the service life of lubricating oils. This additive can effectively protect the metal surface from contact with oxygen or other corrosive substances, thereby avoiding rust and corrosion of metal parts. In this way, rust inhibitors not only protect engines and other mechanical parts from rust, but also ensure the normal operation of the engine and extend its service life.
