Applications
- Lubricant additives
- Enhanced oil recovery
- Emulsion polymerization
- Anti-foulants for refinery and chemical plant operations
In engine oil applications, OLOA® brand detergents perform three key functions to extend engine life:
- Prevent acids of combustion from corroding engine parts
- Keep lubricant oxidation and thermal degradation products from forming varnish deposits on engine surfaces
- Prevent sludge and particles from precipitating onto engine surfaces
Detergents accomplish these functions by chemically reacting with combustion acids and neutralizing them, by inhibiting deposit precursor particle-to-particle aggregation, and by inhibiting deposit formation on surfaces. Oronite detergents vary in chemistry, metallic overbase value, and performance, producing different options for different customer applications.
