VANLUBE^® 289

VANLUBE^® 289 is a boron-containing antiwear additive that does not contain phosphorus, sulfur, or metallic elements. It is an effective antiwear additive, by itself or in combination with other antiwear/EP additives. Falex Pin and Vee Block Test data show that VANLUBE 289 affords antiwear protection not provided by other additives such as zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate, ashless dialkyl dithiophosphate, zinc diakyl dithiocarbamate, molybdenum diakyl dithiocarbamate, ashless dialkyl dithiocarbamate, and alkyl thiadiazole. The Falex Pin and Vee Block Test data also show that VANLUBE 289 forms synergistic combinations with these additives. Thus, VANLUBE 289 is an ideal antiwear additive for the formulation of low sulfur, ash, and phosphorus (SAP) engine oils, or other lubricant applications in which these elements are restricted.
