Corrosion

Solutions for Corrosion

Moisture, oxygen, and reactive contaminants attack exposed metal surfaces. Temperature cycling and stagnant conditions accelerate chemical degradation. When protective barriers break down, oxidation and pitting follow. Corrosion not only attacks iron as “rust”, but also sensitive yellow metals containing copper as well as alloys of aluminum and other high tech metals in key industries.

Industrial gear oils (IGO) and automotive gear oils (AGO) operate across a wide spectrum of load, speed, and temperature conditions, demanding robust film strength and controlled viscosity behavior. These systems must balance extreme pressure protection, oxidation stability, and shear durability to maintain performance under sustained mechanical stress. Purpose-built polymer architectures support viscosity retention and boundary film integrity in both enclosed industrial gearboxes and high-load automotive drivetrains. FUNCTIONAL GA Series packages offer a balance of extreme pressure and wear performance.
