Results for tag: "Metal Deactivator"

Metal deactivators are fuel additives used to reduce the corrosive effects of metals, such as copper, lead, and zinc, on fuel systems. They are designed to protect fuel systems from corrosion and wear caused by the presence of metals in the fuel. Metal deactivators are typically used in gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel applications. They are also used in lubricants and other fuel-related products. Metal deactivators work by forming a protective layer on the metal surfaces, preventing the metal from reacting with the fuel. This layer also helps to reduce the amount of metal particles that can enter the fuel system, which can cause damage to the fuel system components. Metal deactivators are available in a variety of formulations, including liquid, powder, and aerosol. They are typically used in combination with other fuel additives, such as detergents and dispersants, to provide a comprehensive fuel system protection package. Some of the major companies in the metal deactivator market include BASF, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Infineum, and Lubrizol. Show Less Read more
