Product Overview
Dover’s very long chain chlorinated alkanes are liquid chlorinated alkane additives engineered for applications requiring enhanced lubricity and extreme pressure performance. Their higher viscosity characteristics contribute increased film strength, lubricant persistence, and load-carrying capability compared to conventional long chain chlorinated alkane products.
These products are particularly well suited for severe-duty lubricant formulations where maintaining protective lubricant films under challenging operating conditions is critical. Available in 40% and 50% chlorine grades, Dover's vLCCP portfolio allows formulators to select the appropriate balance of lubricity, film strength, and extreme pressure performance for severe-duty applications.
Film Strength & Lubricity Performance
The high viscosity characteristics of Dover’s vLCCP products contribute additional body and film tenacity to lubricant systems. This enhanced film strength helps maintain lubrication performance under severe pressure and loading conditions.
Extreme Pressure Performance
Dover’s vLCCP products provide effective extreme pressure performance for demanding industrial applications where equipment protection and wear reduction are essential. Their chemistry supports reliable performance in metalworking fluids and formulated lubricant systems.
Formulation Flexibility
Multiple chlorine percentages and viscosity combinations are available to help formulators optimize performance for specific operating conditions and lubricant requirements.
