Hundreds of lubricant additives are available industry-wide to
improve base stock properties and protect metal surfaces; however,
the wrong combination of these commodities can result in
substandard performance. Surface Activity of Petroleum Derived
Lubricants explains how surface activity is affected by several
factors: the interfacial properties of lube oil base stocks at
oil/surface interfaces, lubricant solvency properties, additive
interactions, and variations in temperature. The book provides an
understanding of these factors that will influence proper selection
of base stocks and additives necessary for resisting foaming and
air entrainment, inhibiting rust and corrosion, preventing wear,
and controlling emulsification and demulsification.
Using 300 tables to provide experimental data from books,
journals, and the patent literature, this practical and
comprehensive reference examines:
- the refining of lube oil base stocks
- the chemistry of additives
- the formulation technology of lubricants
- the performance of the most important finished products such as
turbine oils, hydraulic fluids, and engine oils
Insight into these variables enables petroleum chemists and
engineers to choose the right lubricant base stock and additive
combination. By becoming aware of these important elements, those
in industry are better able to make the right choices, leading to
reduced costs, improved performance, and better management of
production timelines.
