Friction modifiers have been around for quite some time, but the advancement and technology of these vital anti-wear additives have advanced tremendously over the past several decades. Whether your business or industry involves metalworking fluids, grease, hydraulic fluids, industrial gear oils, or slideway, using a friction modifier additive can significantly enhance the performance and increase the lifespan of your machines, engines, and mechanical components. But what are friction modifiers? Friction modifiers are mild anti-wear additives that minimize light surface contact, such as sliding and rolling, to prevent wear on metal surfaces.
Transmission fluids and engine oils are two of the most common uses for friction modifiers, but friction modifier additives have many other applications and benefits.
Depending on your industry and the application, you can choose from several types of friction modifiers to suit your needs, such as Elco Sulfurized Extreme Pressure, Phosphorous Friction Modifiers, Corrosion Inhibitors, also called Neat Oils, and Anti-Wear Agents.
Each type of Modifier has unique benefits for specific applications. For instance, some additives are temperature-dependent and activate as the metal surface temperature increases due to extreme pressure, so an extreme-pressure additive is an excellent choice for extreme-pressure applications that involve heavier loads and higher temperatures.
To find the best friction modifier for your particular needs and industry, you need a reliable and experienced company with years of research and development in creating the highest quality additives and components that meet your high standards.
