With the continuous development of science and technology, lubricating oil plays an increasingly important role in various mechanical equipment. Antioxidant lubricant additives can significantly improve the performance of lubricants and extend the service life of equipment. Among many antioxidant lubricant additives, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol stands out for its excellent properties. This article will introduce in detail the working principle, application range and usage of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, giving you a comprehensive understanding of this excellent antioxidant lubricant additive.
2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, referred to as DTB, is an additive with antioxidant, anti-wear, anti-corrosion and other functions. It can form a protective film on the friction surface, reduce friction on the contact surface, and effectively extend the service life of the equipment. At the same time, DTB can also inhibit metal oxidation and slow down the rate of oil deterioration, so it is widely used in various lubricants.
The main application range of DTB includes various types of lubricants, engine oils, transmission oils, etc. In terms of lubricating oil, DTB can be used in automobiles, aviation, industrial lubrication systems, etc.; in terms of engine oil, it can be used in gasoline and diesel engines to meet the requirements of different speeds and loads; in terms of transmission oil, DTB can be used in hydraulic systems, transmission systems, etc. system etc. For different application scenarios, you can use it according to the following suggestions:
Lubricating oil: Before adding DTB, make sure the lubricating oil is clean and free of impurities, and then add DTB to the lubricating oil in a certain proportion. The recommended addition amount is 0.1~0.5%.
Engine oil: Add DTB to the engine oil in a certain proportion. The recommended amount is 0.5~1.0%.
Transmission oil: Add DTB to the transmission oil in a certain proportion. The recommended amount is 0.2~0.8%.
When using DTB, pay attention to the following points:
Frequency of use: DTB has a long service life and generally does not need to be added frequently. However, in high load or high temperature environments, the addition frequency should be appropriately increased.
Storage and transportation: DTB should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Avoid impact and high temperature environment during transportation.
Safe use: DTB is non-toxic, but care must be taken to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes during use. If inadvertent contact occurs, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention.
In summary, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, as one of the antioxidant lubricant additives, has excellent performance and a wide range of applications. Through the detailed introduction of its working principle, application scope and usage method, we can fully understand the importance and application advantages of this additive. In modern industrial production, the wide application of DTB can undoubtedly extend the service life of equipment, reduce maintenance costs and improve production efficiency. Therefore, it is undoubtedly one of the excellent antioxidant lubricant additives worth promoting.
