Oxidation of lubricating oils and elements harmful to oxidation

Lubricating oil in the whole process of application and storage, will touch with oxygen in the air, under certain circumstances, will produce chemical reaction, and cause new oxidation substances, such as alkali, collagen fiber, etc.. This oxidation material collects in the grease, so that the lubricating grease will change both in appearance and physical and chemical properties, such as tone increase, viscosity increase, acid and alkali increase, etc., and sludge precipitation will be precipitated, so that the lubricating grease loses its original high-quality physical and chemical characteristics.

A chemical change like that is called oxidation or senescence or cracking of grease. The reasons for harming the oxidation of lubricating grease are:

Chemical composition of lubricating grease and the size of the proportion of such composition in the grease.

2 the temperature.

3. Whether the oxygen in the air is enough to touch.

4 oxidation time.

Catalytic reactions of metal materials with other chemical substances.

6 Other elements.
