Abstract
TCP, as an antiwear and EP agent, has been studied in different hydrocarbon base stocks and in different atmospheres. It is much less effective in base stocks containing condensed-ring aromatics and in atmospheres of high relative humidity. Although the exact mechanism of TCP's action is still not clear, it does not appear to involve a prior hydrolysis to acid phosphate. Also, TCP is just as effective, relative to the base stock, in an inert atmosphere as in air.
