MD-113

C9 thiadiazole derivative (DMTD)

Highest sulphur and nitrogen of the three DMTD grades. C9 sits between the C8 and C12 on solubility while carrying the most active element — the best value per kilogram of the range.

Cross-reference

Grades a formulator would benchmark MD-113 against. Naming them is not a claim of equivalence — it is where to start the comparison.

The chemistry

Yellow Metal Deactivators

Copper passivation and catalytic-oxidation suppression

Typical treat rate0.02 – 0.5 %

Triazoles and thiadiazoles chelate onto copper and its alloys. Two jobs at once: they stop the metal from being attacked, and they stop dissolved copper ions from catalysing oxidation of the base oil. In a turbine or gear oil, omitting these is how you get a fluid that fails oxidation testing for reasons nobody can explain.
