CHORUS offers a selection of organic molybdenum friction modifiers for engine oils and industrial lubricants.

Molybdenum Diakyldithiophosphate (MoDDP or MoDTP)
Molybdenum Diakyldithiocarbamate (MoDTC)
Molybdenum amine complex - no Sulfur and phosphorus

A Friction Modifier refers to a lubricant additive that reduces the friction coefficient of lubricant under boundary lubrication conditions.

Engine Oil Friction Modifier Additives MoDTP is a kind of liquid Organic Molybdenum friction improvement, anti-wear, extreme pressure, and anti-oxidation additive, which is widely used in Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) oil, transmission oil, gear oil, industrial oil, lubricating grease, and other lubricants, and it can greatly improve its tribological properties.

FAQ

Q: What is a solid molybdenum friction improver?

A: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is the first generation of molybdenum containing solid lubricant developed by humans, which has excellent anti-friction and anti-wear performance. However, due to its insolubility in oil, molybdenum disulfide can only be used in solid lubrication, which greatly limits its applications.

Q: What is oil-soluble organic molybdenum?

A: Oil-soluble organic molybdenum can dissolve in oil and disperse uniformly and stably. Molybdenum dialkyl dithiophosphate (MoDDP) and molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) are common oil-soluble organic molybdenum friction modifiers. These two types of organic molybdenum are mainly used in internal combustion engine oil and have excellent anti-friction and anti-wear performance.

Q: What are the common types of oil soluble organic molybdenum friction improvers?

A: MoDDP - an organic molybdenum containing two active elements, both phosphorus and sulfur. MoDTC- an organic molybdenum with sulfur elements but no phosphorus. on-sulfur & non-phosphorus organic molybdenum - typical representative products being molybdenum amine complexes and organic molybdate esters.

Q: Why invent sulfur free phosphorus oil soluble organic molybdenum additives?

A: MoDDP and MoDTC, due to the containing of sulfur and phosphorus elements, these lub additives may pollute the environment and easily deactivate rare and precious metals such as platinum, gallium, and palladium in catalytic reduction systems and particle traps. So people invented sulfur-free & phosphorus-free organic molybdenum additives such as organic molybdates, which have been widely used due to their eco-friendly and non-corrosiveness.

Q: What is sulfur & phosphorus containing organic molybdenum friction modifier?

A: MoDTP was first developed by R T. Vanderbilt company, this friction modifier has excellent anti-friction, anti-wear, and extreme pressure performance due to the presence of sulfur and phosphorus elements However, due to the containing of phosphorus, it is not eco-friendly, and it may deactivate the catalyst in the automotive exhaust catalytic converter. The frictional performance of MoDTP is superior to that of MoDTC, especially in reducing friction and anti-wear effects under high load conditions.

Q: What is MoDTC?

A: MoDTC, also known as molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate, is an organic molybdenum with sulfur but no phosphorus. It is widely used as a friction-reducing, anti-wear, antioxidant, and extreme pressure additive in engine oil and grease. This additive has good thermal stability, is not easily decomposed at high temperatures, and has excellent antioxidant performance. It can significantly improve the anti-wear ability of lubricant, thereby improving fuel economy and antioxidant capacity, and prolonging the engine oil change intervals.

Q: What is the different between the Performance of Extreme Pressure and Wear Resistance of Several Organic Molybdenums?

A: MoDTP has excellent extreme pressure performance under high loads. MoDTC is commonly used under medium load conditions. Non-sulfur phosphorus organic molybdenum has no sulfur or phosphorus active elements, they are commonly used under low load conditions.
