Products in Marine Fluids & Lubricants: Extreme Pressure Additive

Fluoro GE 100 is a high molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micropowder with a narrow particle size distribution. Fluoro GE designates a series of sub-micron PTFE powders made from emulsion grade virgin PTFE. This series covers a range of molecular weights which determine dispersibility, thickening and performance properties. Due to the small particle size, the GE products have a larger specific surface area when compared to other PTFE.

Octopol SIB is a high sulfur-containing hydrocarbon useful as an EP agent, film strength improver and mild oxidation inhibitor in the preparation of industrial gear oils, cutting oils, and metalworking applications and greases. The Octopol SIB demonstrates good solubility in mineral oils as well as great thermal stability. It is generally used with other components to produce additives and fluids for gear or metal-working applications. The recommended, typical treating range is 0.50 – 10 % depending on the application; however, it is suggested that lab testing information be used for acceptable performance levels

Octopol AD is an extreme pressure anti-wear additive, corrosion inhibitor, and antioxidant. Typical uses for Octopol AD are in almost all types of industrial and automotive gear oils, bearing greases, and synthetic lubes. The superior extreme pressure performance gained from Octopol AD makes it our most popular additive. The antioxidant and anti-wear properties also give extended life and improved color even under the harshest conditions. Typical use levels are 1.0 – 10 + percent by weight in lubricating greases and industrial gear oils.

Octopol MB is an ashless dithiocarbamate ideally suited for formulating antimony-free and lead-free products. The product offers extreme pressure, antiwear and antioxidant properties as an additive in lubricants and greases where heavy metals are not desired. Some typical uses for Octopol MB are in industrial gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and rust and oxidation oils. Octopol MB exhibits outstanding demulsibility and good thermal stability as well as excellent solubility properties in highly paraffinic base stocks. Typical use levels are 0.5 – 7.0 percent by weight in lubricating greases and industrial gear oil.

KOMAD 501 is a sulphurized vegetable oil, A sulfur carrier type extreme pressure (EP) additive for lubricants manufactured with active sulfur content. Widely applicable for cutting oil formulations. Widely applicable for cutting oil formulations.

Octopol PTB is a synergistic extreme pressure composition found to give superior anti-wear and antioxidant features contributed to the oil by the particular borate dispersion. Octopol PTB has fluid or semi-fluid consistencies that are desirable for open gears and bearings. This extreme pressure additive has usages in gear sets found in gas compressors, high-pressure hydraulic systems, automotive transmission differentials, and other types or bearings where high-load conditions are prevalent. To avoid the undesirable effects of uncompounded oil under high-load conditions, borates are widely used EP and anti-wear additives. By building a resilient film caused by inorganic borate spheres interacting with metal load-bearing surfaces, this borate dispersion is able to provide outstanding wear protection and load-carrying capacity. The lubricant becomes very stable due to the small size and low density of the dispersed borate.

Octopol AZ-S is a synergistic blend of two extreme pressure additives: zinc diamyldithiocarbamate and sulfurized hydrocarbon. Zinc and sulfur provide a boundary lubrication and sacrificial wear combination protecting parts under the toughest EP conditions. The dithiocarbamate also acts as a corrosion inhibitor and an antioxidant further protecting the lubricating oil. Uses include industrial and automotive gear oils, gear and bearing greases, and some synthetic lubes. Zinc is one of the most widely accepted heavy metals for EP applications.

Octopol AZ is an extreme pressure-antiwear additive, a corrosion inhibitor, and an antioxidant. Uses include industrial and automotive gear oils, gear and bearing greases, and some synthetic lubes. Zinc is one of the most highly accepted heavy metals for EP applications. It is very effective at high temperatures as an additive in crankcase oils, industrial oils and automotive transmission fluids.

Octopol 451 is primarily used as a corrosion inhibitor and is an excellent rust inhibitor. Some typical uses for Octopol 451 are in compressor/engine/gear oils, greases, and petroleum lubes. It is a low ash additive compatible with greases, industrial and automotive gear oils. Octopol 451 is used as an oxidation and corrosion inhibitor in many types of oils. Typical use levels are .25 – 1.0 percent by weight in lubricating greases and industrial gear oil.

Octopol AD-I is a high performance synergistic extreme pressure and antiwear agent. The antimony dithiocarbamate forms a boundary layer while the sulfurized olefin offers itself as sacrificial wear instead of the metal’s surface. The dithiocarbamate acts as an antioxidant and corrosion inhibitor to further protect oil and greases.

Octopol bis DMTD is used as an extreme pressure-anti-wear additive, anti-corrosion agent, and antioxidant for greases. Uses include greases, heavy equipment lubrication and an additive to be used in steel mills. The product has excellent extreme pressure properties when used in various greases and it should be used when extreme pressures are predominate. Typical use levels are 1.0 – 2.0 %. Octopol bis DMTD offers additional synergistic performance in combination with Octopol AD and Octopol MB in mining greases.
