Abstract Three 2-(n-alkyldithio)-benzimidazoles were synthesized. The friction and wear behavior of the synthetic compounds as additives in liquid paraffin were examined with a four-ball machine, with emphasis on revealing the relationship between the chain length of the additive and the friction-reducing ability and lubricating mechanism of the additives. The film formed by the additive during the sliding process was investigated by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the synthetic compounds as additives in liquid paraffin had good antiwear performance. The longer the chain length of the synthetic compound, the more stable or less volatile is the compound and the more effective it is in improving wear resistance.
