(Molybdenum Dithiophosphate (MoDTP))
MoDTP is a molybdenum dithiophosphate liquid which has excellent anti-wear properties. This is mainly because of its high reactivity with the metal surface. In addition, MoDTP is a very good antioxidant.
MoDTP is produced from a saponification reaction and is then extracted by hexane. MoDTP is used in engine oil as a lubricant. It can be effective in both low and high temperature applications. But it can not work well with paraffin-based oils. If you are interested in purchasing MoDTP, please contact Rboschco. We are a global supplier of MoDTP.
In addition, MoDTP can be incorporated into a lubricant mixture to increase the performance of the lubricant. The combination of MoDTP and an ester can help reduce friction in engine oils. Moreover, it can improve the extreme pressure performance of a lubricant.
Organic molybdenum compounds such as molybdenum amide and molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) can also help reduce friction in a lubricant. Besides, they can also be used to improve the wear performance of the lubricant. These additives can reduce the friction coefficient of MoDDP, and provide excellent wear resistance.
Several organic Molybdenum compounds have been developed. For example, Pentaerythritol and Benzotriazole derivatives are very effective in enhancing a lubricant’s performance. They can also prolong oil changing periods. As a result, they can satisfy higher requirements for higher-grade additives. Other multifunctional specialty additives can be added to a lubricant to increase its performance.
Compared to the pure MoDTP, the MC-PT formulation shows the best anti-wear performance. Because of its synergistic effect with MoDTC, it can work at a wide range of temperatures.
