Additives for Future Gear lubricants

,

Since the limit  to which  an  unstable  lubricating oil can be  upgraded by  the  use of  additives is restricted, the first  point  of  attack  in gear lubricant improvement is the base oil. However, even the most stable oils are often improved by the use of additives. Such agents, like most things dealt with, are not ideal and thus there is a wide field for improvement in gear lubricant additives.
Not only  can it be  expected that  individual additives will  be perfected  which  will  give  better response, but  combinations  of such   agents  will  also  be improved. In this connection, the functioning as synergistic will be increasingly important. That is , many  compounds will provide  mutual  aid to  another compound to a  greater extent than  if either  were  used in  a much  large  proportion.
Further, there  will also  be increasing recognition  that there  is perhaps  a very  critical  optimum proportion  of additives  to  give the  maximum response.
