Amphiphilic amine acid complex: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Electrostatic discharge in high-performance machinery causes component pitting and lubricant degradation, which is mitigated by engineering specific conductivity-enhancing molecular structures. These amphiphilic additives stabilize charge dissipation while maintaining film thickness.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Amphiphilic amine acid complex?

Low temperature paraffin crystallization

(13)evidences

Accumulation of carbonaceous residues and asphaltenes causes fuel system clogging and reduced combustion efficiency. Preventing these deposits maintains engine performance and fuel flow integrity.

Excessive coolant electrical conductivity

(12)evidences

High electrical conductivity in cooling fluids leads to leakage currents and safety hazards in electrified systems. Reducing this conductivity prevents short circuits and component degradation.

Inadequate boundary film protection

(9)evidences

Insufficient electrical conductivity in non-polar hydrocarbon fluids leads to dangerous charge accumulation. Increasing conductivity prevents spark-induced component damage and fluid degradation.
