Antiwear (AW) additives | Arkema Specialty Surfactants

Anti-wear (AW) additives are the main lubricant formulation additives that protect equipment against wear and allow it to operate under severe pressure and temperature conditions.

Under these extreme conditions, the oxide layer that protects the surface is removed and the two surfaces are brought into contact.

This situation causes wear, increases friction and can cause rough edges to weld. The viscosity of the oil no longer intervenes in these extreme conditions, it is the additives present in the oil which will chemically interact with the metal surfaces to form a protective film.
