Vikolox™ 68 acid scavenger
Vikolox™ 68 is a 2-Ethylhexyl cyclohexene carboxylate epoxide used as an acid scavenger and reactive diluent in lubricant formulations.
Vikolox 68 has an epoxide ring and branched chain structure, offering excellent low temperature properties, making it especially suitable for formulation of aeronautical fluids. This highly reactive molecule acts as an acid scavenger and reactive diluent.
Vikolox 68 can also be used to create borated Epoxides. Vikolox 68 reacts with boric acid to create molecules with useful functionality for lubricant formulations including anti wear additives, friction modifiers and pour point depressants.
