Date first Edition: April, 1996 Product Name: IRGACOR NPA page 1 of 8 Printing Date: July, 1997 Additive volatility The volatility of additives can have a major impact on lubricant performance characteristics.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) provides information about the volatility of an additive,
as well as its thermal and oxidative stability.
Test procedure Additive < 50 mg , is heated in a controlled atmosphere (air)
at a rate of 10 °C per minute from 25 °C up to as high as 400 C. The weight loss (in %) of the sample as a function of temperature is represented graphically.
