Scientists are working on a greener engine oil additive with thehelp of titanium, which will reduce wear and tear and also boostvehicle performance.
A titanium compound additive has been found to create awear-resistant nanoscale layer that binds to vulnerable parts,credibly substituting compounds that don't agree with antipollutionequipment.
Modern lube is a complex, highly engineered mixture, up to 20percent of which may be special additives to enhance propertiessuch as viscosity and stability and to reduce sludge formation andengine wear, according to experts.
For years anti-wear additives for high-performance oils have beenphosphorous compounds, particularly ZDDP, that work by forming apolyphosphate film on engine parts to reduce wear.
Unfortunately phosphorus is poison for automobile catalyticconverters, reducing their effectiveness, so chemists have beensearching for ways to replace or reduce the use of ZDDP.
Tests of an organic titanium compound demonstrated that it providedsuperior wear resistance when added to a fully formulated engineoil.
Just how the titanium compound works was an open question.
