Interpretation
anti-freeze agent means a chemical or mixture of chemicals, including ethylene glycol, used to reduce the freezing point of liquids within a closed system, including an automotive engine
coolant means a chemical or mixture of chemicals, including ethylene glycol, used to raise the boiling point of liquids within a closed system, including an automotive engine
Group I β V base oils: Group I and II are highly-refined mineral oils (commonly referred to as mineral oils). Group III base oils are extra high viscosity index oils. Group IV base oils are poly alpha olefins. Group V are non-hydrocarbon fluid base oils
highly-refined mineral oils are Group I and II base oils with a DMSO extract of less than 3% m/m using the IP346 method, Annex 1 entry in 21st ATP, and therefore regarded as non-carcinogenic
lubricant means a material introduced between moving surfaces to reduce friction and wear between them. A lubricant typically contains over 90% Group 1 β V base oils (often mineral oils, but can be synthetic and non-hydrocarbon based) and less than 10% additives. It includes lubricating fluids, emulsions, waxes, pastes and dry lubricants
lubricant additive means an additive or additive package designed for use in industrial and automotive lubricants to enhance performance. They may range from a highly viscous liquid to a solid, but generally take the form of concentrated solutions in diluent oils. They may have one or more of the following functions: protection of metal surfaces (e.g. rings, bearings, gears), extending the range of lubricant applicability and extending lubricant life
