How to make TBN booster additive for mineral oils

TBN Booster (Total Base Number Booster) is a high-performance lubricant additive specially formulated to increase the Total Base Number (TBN) of engine oils while improving their acid-neutralizing capability and detergent performance. This essential additive plays a critical role in modern lubricant formulations by helping protect engine components from corrosion caused by acidic combustion by-products, thereby extending engine life and maintaining lubricant performance under demanding operating conditions. The formulation is based on overbased calcium detergent technology, providing excellent alkalinity reserve, effective acid neutralization, and improved cleanliness of engine components. It contributes to enhanced deposit control, sludge prevention, and overall lubricant stability, making it suitable for manufacturing high-performance engine oils for automotive, commercial, and industrial applications. The formula package contains two different formulations. The first is a basic commercial formulation, while the second is an improved high-performance formulation developed to deliver enhanced colloidal stability, smaller calcium carbonate particle size, stronger detergency, and performance characteristics comparable to premium commercial lubricant additives.
