TBN Boosters and Detergents
Superior Engine Cleanliness and Acid Neutralization
TBN Boosters and Detergents are essential lubricant additives designed to neutralize harmful acidic by-products, control deposits, and maintain engine cleanliness. They help extend oil life, improve engine protection, and ensure reliable performance in demanding operating environments.
What Are TBN Boosters & Detergents?
Total Base Number (TBN) Boosters and Detergents are alkaline additives that provide reserve alkalinity in lubricants. They neutralize acids formed during combustion and oxidation while preventing sludge, varnish, and deposit formation on critical engine components.
These additives are particularly important in heavy-duty diesel engine oils, marine lubricants, gas engine oils, and industrial lubricant formulations where acid control is crucial.
How do they work?
During engine operation, fuel combustion and lubricant oxidation generate acidic compounds that can cause corrosion and accelerate oil degradation.
The reserve alkalinity (TBN) continues protecting the lubricant throughout its service life.
Result: Cleaner engines, reduced corrosion, extended oil life, and improved equipment reliability.
Benefits of Our TBN Boosters & Detergents
✅ Enhanced acid neutralization capability
✅ Longer lubricant service life
✅ Reduced corrosion and component wear
✅ Superior oxidation stability
✅ Compatible with mineral and synthetic base oils
✅ Optimized performance for demanding applications.
TBN (Total Base Number) is a measure of a lubricant’s ability to neutralize acidic contaminants and protect equipment from corrosion.
They increase the lubricant’s alkaline reserve, helping neutralize harmful acids formed during combustion and oxidation.
Detergent additives keep engine components clean by preventing deposit formation and dispersing contaminants within the lubricant.
