Extreme pressure anti-wear agent is one of the important additives for lubricating oil and has broad market development prospects.

Extreme pressure anti-wear agent (EP-Antiwear Agent) refers to an additive that prevents scratches, seizures, wear and sintering and welding in the lubrication environment of harsh working conditions such as high speed, high temperature and high load. Extreme pressure anti-wear agents are one of the subcategories of grease additives. Their mechanism of action is that when the metal surface is under load, the extreme pressure anti-wear agents carry out an interfacial tribochemical reaction with the solids on the friction metal surface to form a protective lubricating film. , to prevent metal surface wear and sintering.

There are various types of extreme pressure antiwear agents. According to different ingredients, they can be divided into sulfur type extreme pressure antiwear agents, phosphorus type extreme pressure antiwear agents, chlorine type extreme pressure antiwear agents, rare earth compound type extreme pressure antiwear agents, nanometer Particle type extreme pressure anti-wear agent, organic metal type extreme pressure anti-wear agent, etc. Among them, sulfur-type extreme pressure anti-wear agents are the mainstream products in the current extreme pressure anti-wear agent market. They can also be subdivided into sulfur-olefin type, sulfur-phosphorus type, sulfur-phosphorus-molybdenum type, and sulfur-phosphorus-nitrogen type extreme pressure type. Anti-wear agents, etc.

According to the “2023-2028 Extreme Pressure Anti-Wear Agent Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that extreme pressure anti-wear agents have the advantages of good anti-wear and extreme pressure effects, strong oxidation resistance, good corrosion resistance, and long service life. They are mainly used in various equipment such as automobiles, ships, aircraft, rail transit, and industrial equipment. Lubricating oil plays a role in reducing the wear and failure rate of mechanical equipment and improving equipment reliability and service life.

Currently, in the context of the rapid development of domestic high-end manufacturing industries such as automobiles, ships, and aviation, as a key material for high-end equipment to achieve stable, reliable, and continuous operation, the lubricant market continues to expand. In 2022, the domestic lubricant market size has exceeded 100 billion yuan, reaching 109.94 billion yuan. As one of the important additives for lubricants, extreme pressure antiwear agents have continued to grow in market demand, and the industry has shown good development prospects.

At present, domestic extreme pressure anti-wear agent companies mainly include Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles, Xuzhou Xugong Hydraulic Parts, Shandong Yuangen Petrochemical, Shanxi Lu’an Taihang Lubrication Technology, Anhui Zhongtian Petrochemical, Anhui Jinde Lubrication Technology, Wuxi Qibit Lubricants, Shenzhen There are many companies such as Weiler Technology, Hunan Jinhua Technology, and Seco Intelligent Equipment.

Industry analysts said that extreme pressure anti-wear additives are one of the key additives for lubricants. It can chemically react with metal to form a protective lubricating film under high pressure environment, which can prevent metal surface wear and sintering. Currently, driven by the rapid development of the domestic high-end equipment manufacturing industry, the demand for lubricants and their key additives, extreme pressure and anti-wear agents, is increasing, and the industry shows good development prospects. At present, many companies in my country have deployed in the field of extreme pressure anti-wear agent production. In the future, as local companies continue to upgrade their technology and increase their product research and development efforts, the domestic industry will continue to upgrade in the direction of high quality.
