About Sinolook Lubricant Additives
The complete additive toolkit, from one trusted partner
Lubricant additives are the 5–30% of a finished lubricant that does 95% of the performance work — controlling viscosity, preventing wear, neutralizing acids, dispersing soot, and inhibiting oxidation.
Sinolook supplies the full additive line: detergents (sulfonate, phenate, salicylate), ashless dispersants, antioxidants including ZDDP, anti-wear and friction modifiers (MoDTC, MoDTP, borate ester), viscosity index improvers (PMA, OCP, HSD), pour point depressants, antifoam agents, and specialty intermediates. Engineered for API SP, ACEA C3, ILSAC GF-6, DIN 51524 and beyond.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are lubricant additives?
Lubricant additives are chemical compounds blended into base oil to enhance performance or impart new properties. They typically make up 5–30% of a finished lubricant but are responsible for the vast majority of performance characteristics — viscosity control, anti-wear, anti-oxidation, dispersancy, detergency, foam control and cold-flow improvement. The eight main families are detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, anti-wear / EP agents, friction modifiers, viscosity index improvers, pour point depressants, and antifoam agents.
What are the main types of lubricant additives?
Sinolook supplies 10 categories spanning the full additive toolkit:
• Detergents: sulfonate (Ca/Mg/Ba), sulfurized alkylphenate, salicylate
• Dispersants: PIBSI mono/bis/poly succinimide, borated variants
• Antioxidants / Anticorrosion: ZDDP (primary/secondary/C8/hybrid), DBPC, alkylated & nonylated diphenylamine
• Anti-wear / Friction modifiers: MoDTC, MoDTP, Mo amine, borate ester, TPPT
• VII: PMA, OCP, hydrogenated styrenic
• PPD: T866, T866A, KUNLUN T809
• Antifoam: PDMS, silicone-free, compound
• Specialty: LABSA, PIBSA, thiadiazole derivatives
• Detergents: sulfonate (Ca/Mg/Ba), sulfurized alkylphenate, salicylate
• Dispersants: PIBSI mono/bis/poly succinimide, borated variants
• Antioxidants / Anticorrosion: ZDDP (primary/secondary/C8/hybrid), DBPC, alkylated & nonylated diphenylamine
• Anti-wear / Friction modifiers: MoDTC, MoDTP, Mo amine, borate ester, TPPT
• VII: PMA, OCP, hydrogenated styrenic
• PPD: T866, T866A, KUNLUN T809
• Antifoam: PDMS, silicone-free, compound
• Specialty: LABSA, PIBSA, thiadiazole derivatives
What is the difference between detergent and dispersant additives?
Detergents are metal-containing (Ca, Mg, Ba) overbased compounds that neutralize acids and keep high-temperature engine parts (pistons, rings) clean. Dispersants are ashless (no metal) polymers — typically polyisobutylene succinimide (PIBSI) — that suspend low-temperature contaminants like soot and sludge in the oil. Modern engine oils use both: detergents at 2–8% and dispersants at 3–8% of the formulation.
Are Sinolook's additives suitable for API / ACEA / ILSAC specifications?
Yes. Sinolook supplies additive components used in formulations meeting API SP / SN PLUS / SQ, ILSAC GF-6, ACEA A3/B4, A5/B5, C2/C3, E6/E9 for HDDO, DIN 51524 part 1/2/3 for hydraulic oils, Dexron VI / Mercon LV for ATF, and API GL-4 / GL-5 / MT-1 for gear oils. We provide reference treat-rate guidelines and starting formulations, but final qualification testing (Sequence engine tests, bench tests, OEM approvals) is the responsibility of the lubricant blender.

How do I request samples and start a qualification?
Email sales@sinolook.com with the additive type, target specification (API/ACEA/OEM), and your base oil type. We'll recommend the suitable grade(s), share TDS and a reference treat rate, and arrange a sample drum (typically 200L). WhatsApp +86 181 5036 2095 for fastest response. We can also send starting formulations for common applications on request.
