Five ways ultra-low zinc additives are redefining drivetrain performance
The mining industry is witnessing a significant paradigm shift in lubricant technology, driven by the dual pressures of optimizing equipment longevity and meeting stricter regulatory standards. A new whitepaper from Petro-Canada Lubricants, previewed by Mrudvi Bakshi on April 30, 2026, details how ultra-low zinc (ULZ) additives are fundamentally redefining the performance of heavy-duty drivelines, promising enhanced durability and efficiency for critical assets like excavators and haul trucks operating in demanding 24-hour cycles. This evolution from traditional ZDDP chemistry to advanced ashless anti-wear solutions is crucial for sustained high-performance operations.
