Mission
Key drivers for lubricant performance:
Long life engine protection: wear, deposits, oil oxidation/sludge control Long life catalytic converter (TWC) efficiency: reduced deactivation due to phosphorous exposure

Focus: to develop an environmentally superior ZDP, which is capable to protect both - engine and TWC

ZDP: Key Role in Engine Protection


S S O O P S Zn S P R O O R R R

ZDPs has been used to control wear, oxidation and corrosion in crankcase lubricants since 1940s ZDPs can also reduce TWC efficiency through phosphorus deactivation HyperZDPTM System is designed to be emissions friendly and to minimize volatile phosphorus species that can exit the engine, accumulate on TWC active sites, and reduce their effectiveness. HyperZDPTM System is designed to maintain or improve engine oil robustness

Three Way Catalyst (TWC)


Tasks of catalytic converters are to oxidize/reduce combustion by-products TWC can loose its efficiency due to P glassy film formation Lower P exposure = longer catalyst life

Pt/Pd: Used to Oxidize HC, CO Rd: Used to Reduce NOx

Conclusions
Field trial demonstrated that HyperZDP System:
Maintains both excellent antiwear engine protection good deposit and antioxidancy characteristics Reduces P volatility vs. conventional technology and minimizes potential for catalyst deactivation by 50%. Volatized P contribution is equal or less than consumed oil P contribution.

Significant impact of reduced P volatility on TWC efficiency is discussed in SAE paper 2007-01-4107.

HyperZDP System protects both the engines and TWCs in real world field service.

Challenge Retention of TWC Efficiency and Durability


As ZDPs decompose to protect engine parts, certain volatile P species exit engine, interact with TWC and reduces their effectiveness/service life.
