LUBRICANTS

Lubricants are generally composed of a majority of base oil plus a variety of additives to impart desirable characteristics. Although generally lubricants are based on one type of base oil, mixtures of the base oils also are used to meet performance requirements.

A good lubricant generally possesses the following characteristics:

• A high boiling point and low freezing point (in order to stay liquid within a wide range of temperature)
• A high viscosity index
• Thermal stability
• Hydraulic stability
• Demulsibility
• Corrosion prevention
• A high resistance to oxidation
