Abstract
Incorporating of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors in lubricating products provides a number of advantages. VCIs when added to lubricant will provide corrosion protection to machinery during the storage or transportation period and after that the same lubricant can be used in designed working application without spending extra time and money for changing the corrosion protective product for lubricating. Properly chosen combination of VCI and lubricating product also prolongs service life of machinery by minimizing the corrosive wear of the equipment. The requirements to the Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors, which will be added to the lubricants, vary considering the application condition. Usually these products should be thermostable, should not attack colored metal at high temperatures, and effect physical – chemical properties of lubricant.
Two examples of lubricating product containing vapor corrosion inhibitor are presented in this paper.
Keywords
