Molybdenum Amine Complex
Molybdenum amine complex — an oil-soluble molybdenum-amine additive providing friction reduction and antioxidant performance, with sulphur-free options for sensitive applications.
The sulphur-free molybdenum friction and antioxidant additive
A molybdenum-amine complex provides friction reduction and antioxidancy, with sulphur-free grades available for applications sensitive to sulphur or seeking a different molybdenum chemistry.
Molybdenum amine complex is an oil-soluble organomolybdenum additive based on a molybdenum-amine structure, providing friction reduction and antioxidant performance. Sulphur-free grades are available, valuable in applications sensitive to active sulphur or where a different molybdenum chemistry to the dithio types is preferred. It reduces friction to support fuel economy and contributes oxidation protection, complementing the dithiocarbamate and dithiophosphate molybdenum additives. It is part of the anti-wear agents range and used in engine and industrial oils.
Molybdenum Amine Complex — typical properties
Representative typical values for molybdenum amine complex. Indicative only — exact values vary by grade and are confirmed on the TDS and batch COA.
| Property | Typical Value | Method / Note |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Amber to dark liquid | Visual |
| Molybdenum content | ~7–10 wt% | Grade-dependent |
| Sulphur content | Sulphur-free option | Grade-dependent |
| Kinematic viscosity (100°C) | ~10–50 mm²/s | ASTM D445 |
| Flash point (COC) | > ~150 °C | ASTM D92 |
| Density (20°C) | ~0.95–1.1 g/cm³ | Typical |
| Function | Friction reduction + AO | Sulphur-free option |
Typical values for guidance only — not a specification. Request the TDS for the specific grade you need; the COA reports actual measured values for your batch.
