The book provides an understanding of these factors that will influence proper selection of base stocks and additives necessary for resisting foaming and air entrainment, inhibiting rust and corrosion, preventing wear, and controlling emulsification and demulsification. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing 300 tables to provide experimental data from books, journals, and the patent literature, this practical and comprehensive reference examines:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe refining of lube oil base stocks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe chemistry of additives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe formulation technology of lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe performance of the most important finished products such as turbine oils, hydraulic fluids, and engine oils\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsight into these variables enables petroleum chemists and engineers to choose the right lubricant base stock and additive combination.
