Lubricants prevent greater losses, although their impact goes un-noticed by many end users. In many lubricant applications, corrosion control is a "table stake" activity where a simple specification can be easily passed with a small amount of generic chemistry. Sometimes corrosion control is a consequential effect of formulating with surface-active ingredients that have a different primary purpose. However, there are other applications where corrosion prevention is the differentiating factor between fluids, and many lubricant companies have specialized corrosion preventive fluids in their portfolios.
