Phenothiazine-Type Antioxidants and Their Mode of Action
Abstract
The oxidation inhibition action of phenothiazine-type compounds on lubricating oils has been investigated in a dynamic system over the temperature range 100 to 175 degrees C in the presence of metal catalysts. Many of the compounds indicated activity at the higher temperatures. Resonance-stabilized free radicals, capable of reducing peroxides, were postulated to be the actual inhibiting configurations. It was demonstrated that the inhibitors were of the regenerative rather than the sacrificial class.
