The additive market both in Australia and across the world needs to change continuously. Why? Because the environment that they operate in is also changing continuously!

I often hear people telling me that they found this additive 5, 10 or even 20 years ago and are continuing to use it as it worked wonders the 1st time they used it. I have no doubt that it did work wonders the 1st time however if you think about the development in engines and like technology over the past 20 years it is pretty scary to think that you may be relying on the same old technology to do a very different job.

As a result SFR have recently completed exhaustive testing on a new base for both the SFR Green and ProTetca range of products. This benefits you in the long run as it ensures that we are keeping up with you needs! To read more click here

Set Oil Analysis Limits Correctly

The use of limits is a powerful tool in data interpretation, as well as oil analysis and different types of number-crunching activities. Limits are used to sieve key points and highlight information that might not be readily obvious, even after useful data has been selected.

The initial selection of the right limits is crucial to the long-term usefulness of limits and efficient management of data. This article looks at frequently used limits and shows how to go about the selection process in a methodical and rational manner. ..read more...

Overview of SFR's New Tungsten
 Synthetic Fortifier Technology

 Engine oils function under severe oxidation conditions operating constantly at elevated temperatures. The oxidative breakdown of the engine oil creates sludge and deposits, deteriorates the viscosity of the oil, which produces acidic bodies that corrode engine parts.
 To fight the effects of oxidation, engine oils are formulated with antioxidants, which include: Phenols, amines, zinc dithiophosphates (ZDDP), sulfurized hydrocarbons, metal and ashless dithiocarbamates , and organo-molybdenum compounds. Alkylated diphenylamines and ZDDP's
 are the main source of antiwear protection for engine oils.
However, the use of ZDDP' in engine oil is declining almost entirely due to the poisoning effect of phosphorus on exhaust after-treatment catalyst. In addition sulfur levels in engine oils are also in decline due to the effect of sulfated ash on exhaust after-treatments. Thus, a need has existed for
 effective antioxidant chemistry that can reduce or eliminate the need for phosphorus and sulfur containing antioxidants and antiwear additives.
By using secondary diarylamine antioxidants and organo-tungsten compounds one can significantly improve anti-oxidation performance to lubricating oil compositions. The tungstate acts synergistically with the anti-oxidants providing oxidation control much improved over that provided by either of the components separately.
SFR's synthetic fortifiers contain organo-tungsten with special alkylated diphenylamines for deposit control at elevated temperatures, which improves oxidation stability and drain intervals. In addition, it will not effect seals and has a very low friction coefficient to reduce wear significantly in a lubricant such as motor oil. Testing has revealed tungsten has excellent anti-wear properties over molybdenum (moly) and being a transition metal actually bonds with iron to form a smoother service. An examination of the tungsten on the surface of the tested parts showed there is more than just a deposit of the additive onto the steel or iron surface. The tungsten has,
 in fact, become incorporated into the iron oxide of the steel surface.
The tungsten fortifier is also synergistic with SFR's extreme pressure technology to provide dual protection against wear. This represents a significant improvement in SFR's synthetic product line, which include: Gaszol for all gasoline engines, D-Sol for all diesel engines, Gearzol for all gear Boxes, H-Zol for all hydraulic systems, and Comprezol for all compressors.
