Oil tackifier additive

Description

Oil tackifier additive is commonly used in oil-based lubricants, particularly in grease formulations. These additives enhance the adhesive properties or “tackiness” of the grease, improving its ability to adhere to surfaces and resist being squeezed out under pressure or high loads. Tackifiers work by increasing the viscosity of the grease, providing better retention on surfaces, and preventing it from dripping or running off.

They are especially beneficial in applications where there are varying speeds, temperatures, and pressures, as they help maintain consistent lubrication by keeping the grease in place. Tackifiers can be synthetic or natural polymers, and the choice of tackifier often depends on the specific application requirements and compatibility with other additives in the lubricant formulation.
