Lube Additives for Circulating Oils

Overview:

Large circulating systems (paper machines, turbines, bearings) demand long-life oxidation stability, rapid air release, and water shedding to sustain film thickness and cleanliness.

Why an additive package is required:

  • Prevent oxidation/varnish that fouls narrow clearances and controls. 
  • Ensure rapid air release and low foaming to avoid cavitation and film collapse. 
  • Provide rust protection and excellent demulsibility for reliability under water ingress. 

Typical additive families employed:

Antioxidants, rust inhibitors, demulsifiers, anti-foam; metal deactivators where copper alloys are present. 

Indicative performance tests:

TOST (ASTM D943), RPVOT (ASTM D2272), air release (ASTM D3427), foam (ASTM D892), demulsibility (ASTM D1401), rust (ASTM D665).
