Dispersant Selection

Must Balance Performance Attributes
Need to Control Soot Thickening, Sludge
Too Much May Hurt Seal Performance

(More is Not Always Better!)


Metallic Detergents


Metallic Detergents

Function • Provide High Temperature Cleanliness
• Control Corrosive Wear

Types • Metallic Soaps; Normally Na, Ca, or Mg
• “Soap” Substrates
- Sulfonates
- Salicylates
- Phenates

Mechanism • Neutralize Acids From Engine Blow-By

Detergency in Oils

Gum Being Polar, Sticks on Polar Surfaces

The Polar Ends of Detergents Also Stick to Polar Surface

An Effective Detergent Displaces Gum (Deposits)

Detergent Selection

Balance Cost and Performance Requirements
Too Much May Hurt Wear Performance
May Use Multiple Types of Detergent
Phenates for Higher Temperatures
Sulfonates for Lower Temperatures

Antioxidants


Antioxidant Formulation

Function • Control Oxidative Decomposition of Oil
• Minimize Oil Thickening
• Decrease Sludge and Varnish Formation
• Decrease Formation of Corrosive
Compounds (Acids)

Types • Organic – Phenols, Amines
• Metal-Containing – Zinc Dithiophosphates
(ZDP), Molybdenum Compounds

Mechanism • Decrease Rates of Chemical Reactions
With Oxygen

Antiwear Agents


Antiwear Agent

Function • Reduce Wear of Rubbing Metal Surfaces

Types • Amine or Metal Phosphites, Phosphates,
or Thiophosphates (ZDP)
• Boron Compounds
• Sulfurized Olefins

Mechanism • Adhere to Metal Surfaces, Forming a
Protective Film Which Shears
Preferentially Under Wear Conditions

• Polyacrylates

Mechanism • Reduce Surface Tension of Oil
Causing Bubbles to Collapse


Viscosity Modifiers


Viscosity Modifiers on Temperature
Dependence of Viscosity

Viscosity Modifiers Are Materials (Usually Polymers)
Which Improve (i.e., Increase) the VI of a Base Oil
