Choose ashless dispersants

Ashless dispersants are important lubricant additives used to keep contaminants such as dirt, sludge and combustion by-products suspended and prevent them from settling or forming deposits in the lubricant system. These dispersants are “ashless” in that they contain no metallic ash-forming ingredients that may lead to deposit formation.

There are several reasons to choose ashless dispersants:

1. Improved cleanliness: Ashless dispersants help keep lubrication systems clean by dispersing and suspending contaminants. This prevents the formation of harmful deposits that can lead to equipment failure and reduced performance. By keeping lubrication systems clean, ashless dispersants ensure optimal lubrication and extend the life of equipment.
2. Reduce wear and friction: By preventing the formation of deposits, ashless dispersants help reduce wear and friction between moving parts of equipment. This results in smoother operation, lower energy consumption and longer equipment life. Ashless dispersants also help reduce maintenance frequency and downtime, saving businesses money.
3. Enhanced oxidation stability: Ashless dispersants also provide oxidation inhibition, preventing the lubricant from breaking down due to exposure to heat and oxygen. This helps maintain the lubricant’s viscosity, stability and lubrication properties, ensuring optimal performance even at high temperatures.
4. Compatibility: Ashless dispersants are generally compatible with a variety of base oils and other types of additives used in lubricants. This allows flexibility in formulating lubricants for different applications and operating conditions.
5. Environmental considerations: Ashless dispersants, as the name suggests, do not contain metal ash-forming components. They are more environmentally friendly than dispersants containing metallic elements, which can lead to the formation of harmful emissions and increase environmental pollution.

In summary, ashless dispersants are chosen for their ability to improve cleanliness, reduce wear and friction, enhance oxidation stability, provide compatibility and provide environmental benefits. Adding ashless dispersants to lubricants can help ensure optimal performance, extend equipment life and help improve overall operating efficiency.
