EP Additives can significantly improve the tribological properties of lubricants. By reacting with the material surfaces, EP additives prevent welding of the metallic materials under extreme pressure or load conditions.
EP additives in the lubricant industry are used to improve the lubricity of oils in situations involving extremely high pressure and heavy loads. EP additives form a protective layer on metal surfaces that come into contact with each other under such conditions, such as gears, gearboxes, or roller bearings. The formation of this layer prevents direct contact between metal surfaces, which reduces wear and damage. EP additives are therefore crucial for improving the performance and service life of machines and equipment, especially under extreme operating conditions.
