Friction Reducers

view specifications  view MSDS    request a sample    MOLYVAN® A
Used in long life chassis greases for ball joints, steering linkages and other lubricating greases requiring good antioxidant and antiwear at high temperatures for long periods of time. MOLYVAN A is an organic molybdenum E.P. and antiwear additive for petroleum and synthetic lubricants. It has good high temperature stability. In lubricating greases it is superior to inorganic molybdenum additives in both antiwear and antioxidant properties. MOLYVAN A is slightly basic and does not promote rusting. It has a low specific gravity which makes it easy to disperse with simple equipment. It is used in non-petroleum base valve lubricants.

MOLYVAN L is an oil-soluble organic molybdenum additive containing sulfur and phosphorus. It functions as friction reducer, antioxidant, antiwear, and E.P. agent. It is used in engine oils, metalworking compositions and in a variety of industrial and auto-motive lubricating oils, greases and specialties. MOLYVAN L is an outstanding antiwear agent. It is quite useful in automotive and industrial gear oils and greases which operate under heavy load conditions.

Note: Since oil formulations vary it is recommended that upon the incorpora-tion of any additive the finished product be tested to confirm original test results. In some formulations, the presence of MOLYVAN L may contribute to copper corrosion which would be detrimental to some diesel engines. Therefore, its use in such lubricants is not recommended.

MOLYVAN 807 offers a unique molybdenum-sulfur combination in an oil-soluble form which is easy to blend into lubricants. MOLYVAN 807 can be used to maintain the antifriction properties of an engine oil while reducing the phosphorus content. To obtain significant increases in extreme pressure properties and impart improved antiwear performance, MOLYVAN 807 can be used in combination with VANLUBE 7723, a non-metallic dithiocarbamate which functions as antioxidant and extreme pressure agent.

Note: Since oil formulations vary it is recommended that upon the incorporation of any additive the finished product be tested to confirm original test results. In some formulations, the presence of MOLYVAN 807 may contribute to copper corrosion which would be detrimental to some diesel engines. Therefore, its use in such lubricants is not recommended.

view specifications  view MSDS        MOLYVAN 2000
MOLYVAN 2000 is a sulfurized molybdenum dithiocarbamate. This is our newest molybdenum dithiocarbamate where the sulfur in the core of this molybdenum di(tridecyl)dithiocarbamate has been optimized. The molybdenum to sulfur ratio in the core of the dithiocarbamate provides better frictional retention over our standard sulfurized oxy molybdenum dithiocarbamates in certain engine oil formulations. MOLYVAN 2000 can be used to maintain or improve the antiwear/antifriction properties of an engine oil while reducing the phosphorus content.

Note: Not recommended at this time for diesel engine oils.

Antiwear and EP additive for steel mill and other industrial gear oils. Antiwear and extreme pressure additive for petroleum oils and greases. VANLUBE 622 has outstanding extreme pressure and antiwear properties in a variety of base lubricants. It will give unusually high Timken, Falex, and 4-Ball EP values at economical concentrations of 1 to 3%. It shows promise as an EP and antiwear additive in automotive gear oils. Radioactive Ring Wear Tests in crankcase oils show VANLUBE 622 to be superior to zinc dithiophosphates at equivalent treating costs. Friction reducer in engine oils and gear oils.
