Oxidation occurs when oxygen is introduced in large quantities to oils. This process is accelerated by heat, metal catalysis, and the presence of moisture, acids, or solid contaminants. The oxidation process leads to increased viscosity and deposit formation (as in varnish and sludge).
This Class of additive decomposes peroxides and terminates free radicals so as to retard oxidation of the oil.
1. What is this class of additive?
2. Name at least one of the additive compounds in this class.
