The Hidden Danger Of ZDDP Based Lubricants

Research paper "The Hidden Danger of Organic Phosphates” by V. Privalova and S. Mamykin. 2024.

The research paper delves into the impacts of organophosphate compounds (OPs), highlighting their presence in lubricants like motor oil. Organophosphates, including ZDDP (zinc dialkyl-dithio-phosphate) used in engine oils, are noted for their anti-wear and antioxidant properties but have raised health and environmental concerns due to their neurotoxic nature. The paper underscores the dual-edged nature of such additives, which, while beneficial for engine performance and longevity, contribute to releasing neurotoxic compounds into the environment, mainly through vehicle exhausts. This situation poses potential risks to public health, with implications for cognitive functions and overall mental well-being due to the neurotoxic effects of OP exposure.

Cuprum Lubricant Solutions, based on Neol CuGlideTM technology, contain only trace amounts of ZDDP in products. pioneering the shift towards more sustainable, less neurotoxic lubricant formulations, striving for environmental and health-conscious lubricant production practices.
