Additive Loss in Lubricants Additive loss is detrimental to the performance of lubricants. Some additive levels can be monitored by infrared spectroscopy. For instance, anti-wear additives, zinc dithio-dialkyl (diaryl) phosphate (ZDDP) and tri-cresyl phosphate (TCP) contain a common phosphate functional group that can be measured by infrared. The P-O-R (where R = alkyl/aryl) stretch shows a strong IR absorbance for all of these compounds and is used to trend the anti-wear level. The P-O-R stretch area is measured over the region of 1020-960 cm using the general baseline of 2000-600 cm. ...

The original phosphate plasticisers were TTP (tri-tolyl-phosphate), also known as TCP (tri-cresyl-phosphate), and TXP (tri-xylyl-phosphate). TXP is not quite as efficient as TCP and is slightly inferior in low temperature flexibility, but in most applications the two products are interchangeable.
