Extreme Pressure, referring to additives incorporated into lubricants to prevent metal-to-metal contact and wear under high load conditions. These additives react with metal surfaces to form a protective film that withstands intense pressure and heat, preventing galling and seizure. Common EP additives include sulfur-phosphorus compounds, which activate at elevated temperatures.
