EP Additives

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.

EP Additives of the LUBIO® EP series contain both oil- and water-soluble products. The sulphur compounds normally used for EP additives are available in the LUBIO® EP series with a high active sulfur content (LUBIO® EP 11) or with low active sulfur content (LUBIO® EP 12). The ratio of active sulphur to total sulphur can be adjusted almost continuously.
