该论文已在赫尔辛基举行的第28届CIMAC大会上发表，论文的版权归CIMAC所有。Regulatory actions, particularly in Europe, are triggering the reclassification of Tetrapropenylphenol (TPP) from reproductive toxicity category 2 to the more severe category of reproductive toxicity category 1B. The mandatory timescale by which all manufacturers, importers and suppliers must classify TPP in this manner is likely to be the end of 2017. How will this change impact the marine lubricant industry? TPP is used as a starting material for the production of the high temperature performance phenate detergents used across the lubricant additive industry. Phenate detergents were added to cylinder lubricants in response to engine manufacturers making design changes which raised engine operational temperatures. Lubricants containing 0.3% TPP or more will have to be classified, and as such labelled, as reproductive toxins. To maintain this high temperature performance, and at the same time reduce the level of TPP, changes will be required to how cylinder lubricants are formulated. The challenge will be in finding the right chemistry to replace the high temperature performance found in the historical additive systems.
