NICODOM IR Oils and Lubricants (1038 IR transmission + 538 ATR spectra)
The FTIR spectral library book
"NICODOM IR Oils and Lubricants" includes 1038 + 538 FTIR
spectra of lubricants and oils. It has been created in coooperation with oil
chemistry experts with the idea of enabling semiautomatic identification of
unknown oil sample by FT-IR spectroscopy. The library is routinely used by oil
manufacturers, oil users and in govermental or enviromental type of
laboratories.

This library is available as
book a scanned book (*.pdf file). The digital searchable version is distributed
exclusively by Thermo representative in your region.
Typical samples included in this
library are different kinds of oils (anticorrosion, compressor,
electroinsulating, emulsifying, gear, hydraulic, machinery, metal cutting,
motor, natural, silicone, steam cylinder, turbine, special...), fuels and
greases. Most of those samples are mixtures of base oil and additives. As the
refining additives are typical for each category and have different chemical
composition, their presence leads to differences in FT-IR spectra of different
kinds of oils and lubricants.
The documentation coming with
the library allows simple identification but also advanced spectral
intepretation of oil spectra. The documentation includes a brief description of
each sample category, table of typical absorption bands in base oils, table of
common oil additives together with their chemical formulas and characteristic
absorption bands. Table of characteristic bands of synthetic oils and additives
is also included. Furthermore, some advices of search regions, spectral
processing and sample preparation are given.
Two sampling techniques were
applied by creating the library: transmission technique (1038 spectra) and ATR
technique (538 spectra).
The transmission spectra have
higher absorption coefficients and emphasize weaker bands in finger print
region, which are typically due to refining additives that are characteristic
for each product. The hydrocarbon bands between 3050-2800 and 1450-1380 cm-1
are blanked for most products.
The ATR spectra show also the hydrocarbon
bands, but the absorption in finger print region is lower.

Motor Oil F.1. 15W50)
The digital library include text
fields for compound name, type, origin and comments (if this information is
available)
Compound name - This field contains the product´s commercial name or
other commonly used name. A viscosity rating is also given for some products
that are classified as "motor oil" .
Origin - The Origin field gives the name of the manufacturer or
country of origin
Type - This field indicates the product´s classification (motor
oil, gear oil etc.)
Comment - The comment field contains additional product
information, such as the product´s composition, performance rating, viscosity,
etc.
