Fett för en elektrisk framtid
Med siktet inställt på att göra litiumkomplexfett mer hållbart och bättre lämpat för användning i elmotorer har Nynas samarbetat med Solvay för att undersöka om joniska vätskor kan förbättra smörjfetter.
-
Using tribology to optimise grease formulation
Studies conducted at Nynas’ specialist grease lab and Optimol Instruments in Germany show how tribological tests can be used to optimise the formulation of lithium and lithium complex greases, providing more cost-effective lubrication products.
-
Turkish Delight – a success story
A joint project between Nynas and Petrofer Turkey has delivered a high-performance lubricating grease with some outstanding features. The naphthenic base oil NYNAS® T 600 and Nynas grease expertise played essential roles.
-
Superb behaviour in aluminium complex grease
To support grease manufacturers eager to diversify and move away from thickeners based on lithium hydroxide, Nynas’ grease specialists studied the behaviour of NYNAS® T 600 in aluminium complex grease and found it to be an excellent choice.
-
Exploring ionic liquids for greener grease
When Ashlie Martini and her team of researchers at University of California Merced (UCM) applied for a NLGI grant to explore the use of ionic liquids in grease, Nynas’ grease specialist Mehdi Fathi-Najafi was assigned as their liaison.
-
Mapping the molecules in base oil
Industry standard methods used in the specification of base oils provide insight into a few predetermined physical-chemical properties. However, to better understand the behaviour of oils in different applications, researchers at Nynas apply increasingly specialised methods to investigate the molecular composition.
-
Smart choices for grease producers
“Reduced CO2 emissions equal increased profitability.” This is the simple but important message emanating from a new energy consumption study of industrial-scale grease production, revealing a new relationship between environmental and economic targets.
-
Works well for metalworking
Results from a comprehensive Nynas study into the chemistry of semi-synthetic metalworking emulsions point formulators in the right direction when selecting components for metalworking fluids.
-
Matching polarity essential in bentonite grease
Naphthenic base oils work perfectly well in bentonite grease as long as producers make sure that they match the polarity of the oil to that of the bentonite. René Abrahams offers some advice to grease formulators.
-
Additive advantage - nano particles in grease
NYNAS® T 600 enables grease formulators to save up to 50% of the lithium soap content. But the benefits offered by Nynas’ latest base oil don’t end there.
-
A Balancing Act
Dwindling Group I capacity spells problems for lubricant producers relying on bright stock and heavy neutrals for their products. Can naphthenics help balance supply and demand?
-
Revealing the role of sulfur
As sulfur holds the key to antioxidant behaviour in base oils, model studies help Nynas researchers realise how to improve the oxidation stability of the company’s lubricant base oils through the addition of sulfur-containing secondary antioxidants.
-
Great in grease
Recent studies show that the NYBASE™ range offers major benefits when used to replace paraffinic Group I oil in existing lube and grease formulations.
-
Stable solutions
Metalworking fluids need to be based on oil with good solubility for additives. Tested under extreme conditions, naphthenic oil proves an excellent replacement for Group I oil.
-
Grease lubrication of roller element bearings
Our knowledge of what actually happens when grease lubrication is used has increased dramatically in the last ten years. The latest research gives a new view on how to formulate grease to optimise its effect under different conditions, not least when it comes to adapting the grease to the temperature a machine operates at.
-
Less can be more
Using naphthenic oil of high viscosity and novel nanoparticles, Nynas’ specialists make leaner high-performance lithium complex grease formulated with fewer components, potentially enabling lower manufacturing costs.
