It has been awhile since these were discussed. Since interest in growing in the these components, we'll have a series on the chemical components of a DI additive package for Lubricants.
These may require some BITOG and internet searching for the answers:
This series is NOT open to Tribologists or anyone in the chemistry disciplines.
Q2: A Borate ppm number showing up in a VOA or UOA is usually indicative of a functional --------------- type chemistry component.
See DI functional type chemistry categories below:
(DI is the industry term for the additive package mixture that contains detergents, dispersants, anti-wear, rust inhibitors, metal deactivators, friction reducers, anti-oxidants, cleaners, emulsifiers, anti-foamants, etc).
