In manufacturing industry, industrial lubricants play a critical role in ensuring machinery performance and longevity. However, a common question arises: Should lubricant additives be used in the production of industrial oils? Join Vichem as we explore the answer to help oil manufacturers and industrial businesses improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANT ADDITIVES
Protecting machinery and extending equipment lifespan
Lubricant additives, such as anti-wear and extreme pressure additives, are designed to safeguard metal surfaces from friction and wear under harsh operating conditions. These additives form a protective film on metal surfaces, minimizing damage to components. This not only extends machinery lifespan but also reduces maintenance frequency, resulting in significant cost savings for businesses.
Meeting demanding industrial requirements
Industries often require lubricants to perform reliably in high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive environments. Industrial lubricant additives enable oils to maintain performance under such conditions. Detergent and dispersant additives, such as calcium sulfonate or polyisobutylene succinimide, keep engines clean by removing sludge and carbon deposits, ensuring smooth machinery operation.

Enhancing performance and reducing operating costs
Friction modifier additives reduce friction between metal surfaces, improving fuel efficiency and lowering energy consumption. Additionally, viscosity index improver additives maintain stable viscosity across a wide temperature range, ensuring effective lubrication in both hot and cold environments. These enhancements help businesses reduce operating costs and boost production efficiency.
Meeting international standards
High-quality lubricant additives enable industrial oils to comply with international standards such as API (CK-4, FA-4), ACEA, or QCVN 14:2018/BKHCN. This not only enhances brand credibility but also opens opportunities for exporting lubricants to global markets.
WHAT HAPPENS IF LUBRICANT ADDITIVES ARE NOT USED?
Failing to use lubricant additives or selecting inappropriate ones can lead to serious consequences in production and operations:
Poor lubrication performance
Lubricants without additives or with unsuitable additives quickly lose their lubricating properties under high temperatures or pressures. This increases friction between machinery components, leading to wear and premature damage.
Increased wear and machinery damage
Without anti-wear or extreme pressure additives, metal surfaces are prone to scratches and damage, especially in heavy industrial applications like cement crushers or marine engines. This results in costly repairs and replacements.
Higher operating costs
Lubricants lacking detergent and dispersant additives allow sludge and carbon deposits to accumulate, clogging lubrication systems and reducing engine efficiency. Additionally, oils without additives are more susceptible to oxidation or foaming, increasing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
Failure to meet technical standards
Industrial lubricants without high-quality additives struggle to meet API or ACEA standards, making them less competitive in the market and unable to satisfy customer requirements.
