LUBRICANTS
Zinc oxide is widely used in lubricant applications as a functional additive, improving thermal stability, wear protection and chemical resistance in demanding industrial and automotive environments. Zinc oxide for lubricants contributes to enhanced anti-wear performance, oxidation resistance and formulation stability in grease systems and specialty lubricant formulations. It supports reliable operation under high temperature and high load conditions. Controlled purity and optimized particle characteristics ensure stable dispersion and consistent performance in lubricant systems. Zinc oxide lubricants benefit from improved durability, oxidation resistance and long-term performance in demanding operating conditions.
Key Requirements
Thermal & Oxidative Stability
Lubricant systems operate under elevated temperatures and oxidative stress. Zinc oxide improves thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, supporting longer service life.
Controlled Reactivity & Compatibility
Zinc oxide must be chemically compatible with base oils and additive packages, ensuring stable formulations without unwanted reactions or performance loss.
Fine & Consistent Particle Characteristics
Uniform particle size distribution supports stable dispersion in grease and lubricant systems, contributing to consistent anti-wear behaviour and protection.
Low Impurity Profile
Low trace metal levels prevent catalytic degradation of lubricant systems and support long-term formulation stability under demanding conditions.
Typical Properties
Zinc oxide for lubricant applications typically features controlled particle size distribution and low trace metal content. It supports stable dispersion in grease systems, improved wear protection and enhanced thermal and oxidative stability in industrial and automotive lubricants.
