A Zinc compound, called ZDTC, can function as an anti-corrosion agent.

What are the other four additional functions it can serve?




Guidelines for the Question of the Day:

1. No Piston Cup Lapel Pin will be awarded to the same person within 14 days of a previous award.

2. Please respond with a complete sentence or explanation.

3. Please do not post links. If a question arises as to the need for clarification, then sources and links may be requested.

4. Please, no off topic posts.

ZDTC/Zinc Dithiocarbamate functions as an antioxidant, sludge preventer, antiwear, and extreme pressure additive. The main problem with ZDTC is its poor flouroelastomer seal compatibility.

It can function as a vulcanization accelerator, like what is used in latex gloves.

Can also function as an allergen causing dermatitis.

Used in Liquid chromatography.

Functions in a Condom.

Smells nice.
 
No correct answers as yet so I'll restsate it:

What are the other four additional functions it can serve in a machine LUBRICANT?

SHANNOW will claim the new 3-D Piston Cup La[el Pin.

ZDTC provides:

Extreme Pressure
Anti Wear
Friction Modifier
Anti-Oxidation
Anti-corrosion

protection in specialized lubricants.
 
Thanks Molakule,
the new pins seem to be manufactured with no expense spared these days.

Without pretending to be chemist and physics /I’m simple engineer/ I have several remarks
1.Unclear question – Plenty of ZDTC/Zinc Dithiocarbamate
a. alkyl groups range from between 2 and 8 or even 12 .
b. saturated and/or unsaturated,
c. branched and/or linear, arylalkyl.
2.The answer with narrow scope – Stribeck curve and few physical properties
3.Filtered only the positive properties of additive – What about seal compatibility, cross effects with other additive e.g. ZDDP
MolaKule please correct me if I’m wrong.
 
I would like to thank all contributors in this quest. We all together made the complete answer.

+antioxidant
+sludge preventer
+Acid neutralization/TBN retention
+Dispersant
+Detergent
+FM,AW and EP additive.
-most ZDTC types have poor flouroelastomer seal compatibility. The development in this areas shows that many ZDTC salts has reasonable good flouroelastomer seal compatibility – Just look in patent files.

ZDTC is not only used in oil industry.

+vulcanization accelerator, like what is used in latex gloves.
+Used in Liquid chromatography
-allergen causing dermatitis.


Thanks for contribution.

PS. It seems that the time of single smart guy is over. WIde community like Wikipedia is a good example of it.

But you have to know the subject matter and the context of what you are asking.

Otherwise you're just stringing words together which mean nothing.

The context of the question is one of machine lubricants. The question was specific.

One of the guidelines is to stay on topic.
