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 with extremely high pressure and high loads. EP additives form a protective layer on the metal surfaces that come into contact with each other under such conditions, such as gears, transmissions or roller bearings. By forming this layer, direct contact between the metal surfaces is avoided, which reduces wear and damage. EP additives are therefore crucial for improving the performance and service life of machines and systems, especially under extreme operating conditions.
