Metal Deactivators - IRGAMET®
At A Glance
Our IRGAMET® Metal Deactivators suppress chemical attack on the surface of copper and copper alloys, as well as protecting copper surfaces from blackening upon exposure to sulfur-containing lubricants at high temperatures. They contribute to longer oil lifetime by passivating the metal surface and avoiding residues that act as catalysts for radical formation.
