Metal Deactivators prevent metal catalysis by binding metal ions and thus preventing the decomposition of products and oxidation in organic materials in the polymer and lubricant industry.
Metal Deactivators in the lubricant industry form a passivating protective film, especially on non-ferrous metals, which prevents the catalytic effect and the transfer of metal ions. In this way, both oxidative attack and thus corrosion of the metal surface and ageing of the lubricant can be prevented.
Metal Deactivators can prevent undesirable chemical reactions by binding metal ions in complexes, thereby extending the service life of lubricants. The metal deactivators of the LUBIO® MD series include with LUBIO® MD 1 an oligomeric sulphur compound that is suitable for use in metalworking fluids (MWF). LUBIO® MD 3 which is based on a triazole derivative is suitable for the application in MWFs as well as in engine oils. LUBIO® MD 6 is a heterocyclic sulphur compound for use in MWFs, gear oils, compressor oils and hydraulic oils.

Metal Deactivators are chemical compounds that complex metal ions and thus inhibit their catalytic activity. Metal deactivators bind to metal ions such as copper, iron or nickel by forming coordination bonds, thus preventing their undesirable reactions. This reduces the formation of deposits in engines and catalytic converter systems, resulting in improved performance and service life.
