Extreme pressure antiwear agents are lubricant additives designed to protect equipment under conditions of extreme pressure, high load, or shock loading. These additives work by forming a durable film that can withstand the stress exerted on components in heavy-duty machinery. Extreme pressure agents are particularly effective in preventing damage caused by metal-to-metal contact under high pressure, which could otherwise lead to accelerated wear and failure of critical components. The major advantage of these agents is their ability to provide superior protection in severe operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance and extending the lifespan of machinery. Extreme pressure antiwear agents are widely used in gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and other industrial lubricants that operate in high-pressure environments.
