Anti Oxidant

Lubricating oils and greases under oxidizing conditions yield unstable materials called peroxides which quickly decompose to form other materials which are even more susceptible to oxidation.

Applications

Lubricating oils and greases under oxidizing conditions yield unstable materials called peroxides which quickly decompose to form other materials which are even more susceptible to oxidation. This process is like a chain reaction which is accelerated by increased temperatures and further catalyzed by metals present in the formulations.

This is therefore highly recommended to terminate this free radical chain reaction and prevent oxidation degradation resulting under oxidizing conditions without affecting EP and other corrosion properties of the formulations.
