Engine Oil Additives Continued

Chlorinated paraffins are thermally unstable and decay above 200°C. They then generate strong acid radicals (free chloride ions and hydrogen chloride). These radicals begin to attack metal surfaces, forming chloride films of the metal. This may lead to “stress crack corrosion” in the metal surfaces as well as corrosion of pistons, bearings, and valve trains.

If continued, there will eventually be mechanical failure.

Chlorinated Paraffins are known to be …

►cancer causing

►extremely toxic to humans and

►toxic to aquatic environments.

These substances accumulate, persist and bring effects that are often irreversible to man and to the environment. As stated, aquatic environments suffer most.
