    In a machine, some parts are designed in such a way that they can accomplish their function just as they are. Some mechanisms however are set such that all the parts have to work for the remaining ones to function. These therefore need protection for continual functioning. A variety of products in the market are meant just for this purpose. These are lubricating agents and diesel antiwear additives.

    Some years ago, additives where commonly used in fuels of gasoline. Nowadays, their use in diesel fuel to provide for quality improvement has escalated. Their use is not limited to these but regardless of the reason, four major categories are common which are engine performance, contaminant control, fuel performance and fuel stability additives. The effects they bring about may be immediate or manifested after a duration of time.

    Metal is the principle material in the construction of new era engines and devices. This is tied to its durability and the belief that it lasts longer compared to its counterparts. Also, it is easy to fabricate it into taking the desired size and shape. However, there are elements able to affect its condition such as rusting process as a result of oxidation. This is why they need to be protected.

    Use of lubricants will ensure that the parts have been protected and also effectiveness maintained. Despite this, there are certain things the lubricant will not prevent. Protection against break down of high friction parts is one of those factors not prevented by lubrication. This is the main reason additives specifically made to prevent wear and tear are been utilized as they offer the maximum benefits in terms of this.

    Additives to prevent wear in diesel using engines and devices ensure corrosion does not happen and efficiency is improved. The market however is flooded with many different types of these additives. This calls for mastery of different ones available not to get confused when you want to purchase a particular one.

    These agents are just lubricating products having in them components which undergo chemical reaction if they get into contact with a metallic surface. They end up forming a lubricious coating for sacrificial purposes which protects the metal from wear under lubrication happening boundry. The resulting coat is hard compared to the metal one.

    Most of these are safe for usage in lubricants which come into contact with foodstuffs periodically. There are reports on the tests that have been conducted on them to help the client out when seeking to purchase certain ones containing specific formulations. The common ones are ZDDP, nano particulate borate potassium, bismuth carboxylates, moly compounds and ashless dialkydithiophosphate.

    Compounds having extreme pressure are at times added to these additives to better their functionality. This makes them usable in a variety of situations. To note is that as much as this products do provide protection, they have corrosive abilities too. The manufactures therefore make them in such a way that there is a balance between the protection they offer and corrosion caused. Antiseize is a class of the products whose performance is not affected by temperatures ranges. They improve lubrication capabilities though a coating film formation and deposition on the metal surface.
