Oil additive that keeps engine clean by holding in suspension in insoluble products of oil oxidation and fuel combustion formed during temperature engine operation.
a chemical that is put on the oil to make it break up into little droplets, some of which will go down into the water
Additive that helps keep solid contaminants in a crankcase oil in colloidal suspension, preventing sludge and varnish deposits on engine parts. Usually nonmetallic "ashless", and used in conjunction with detergents.
Chemical that causes insoluble ingredients to be evenly distributed throughout a liquid.
chemical that causes oil to break into small droplets by reducing the surface tension between the water and oil. It is used to cleanup low viscosity oils, yet it impacts the plankton in the upper water layers, because the oil is dispersed within the water.
substance applied to spilled oil that disperses oil into the water column, rather than leaving it floating on the surface in a slick
chemical product that is environment friendly and designed to disperse oil spills at sea and in port where there is a pollution incident
A chemical that causes particulates in a water system to remain in or be placed into suspension.
In aromatherapy; a non-alcoholic agent or surfactant that is used to distribute or dissolve essential oils evenly into the surface of water. See also Bath Base.
A chemical additive to water to improve particulate removability.
In lubrication, a term usually used interchangeably with detergent. An additive, usually nonmetallic ("ashless"), which keeps fine particles of insoluble materials in a homogeneous solution. Hence, particles are not permitted to settle out and accumulate.
An ingredient that binds with one or more ingredients to disperse or spread the ingredient(s) evenly throughout a product. Assists in the stabilization of the product.
A chemical (such as a polyphosphate) added to water which causes particulates in water to remain in suspension.
A dispersing agent often of a surface active chemical that promotes formation of a dispersion or maintains a state of dispersion by preventing settling or aggregation.
A chemical agent used to break up concentrations of organic material such as spilled oil.
