  • the lubricating compositions according to the invention simultaneously exhibit, in particular, good extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties and a low coefficient of friction.
  • additives such as the diphosphites, which can be both friction modifiers and anti-wear components, react with the sulphur used as extreme-pressure agent to form, for example, thiophosphonic derivatives the properties of which are markedly different from those of the original molecules.
  • extreme-pressure components react with the anti-wear additives or the friction modifiers in order to produce novel chemical entities.
  • These reactions are not controlled, nor are the precise properties of the final product monitored over time. Interactions can occur between the different extreme-pressure/anti-wear/friction modifier additives and lead to antagonistic effects on the final properties of the compositions containing additives.
