    All about lubricants

    Answer your questions about lubricants

      • Lubricants carry out other tasks essential for the effective functioning of the equipment:

        - They reduce friction between two metal surfaces
        - They protect mechanical parts from wear and corrosion
        - They clean and cool
        - To act as a sealant between the engine segments

      • The quality and performance of lubricants depend on the quality of the bases used, the improvements provided by the additives used and the physical-chemical characteristics of the finished lubricants.

        Regarding the type of application, the most important oils are:
        - Oils for 2- and 4-stroke engines
        - Marine Oils
        - Oils for transmissions and gearboxes
        - Lubricating greases (bearings)
        - Oils for industrial uses

      • All lubricating oils are made up of a base oil, usually derived from petroleum, and additives (compounds incorporated in small quantities into base oils to obtain a lubricant with the quality level and type of application appropriate).

        The most important additives according to the function they must complete are:
        - Antioxidant
        - Anti-rust
        - Detergent
        - Dispersant
        - Viscosity index improver
        - Freeze depressant

         

      • The most important characteristics of the lubricants that define their class are:
        - Color
        - Viscosity
        - Viscosity index
        - Density
        - Flash point
        - Fire point
        - Pour point
        - Extreme pressure
        - Aeroemulsion
        - Demulsification
        - TBN
