Alkenyl dicarboxylamide is an ashless (metal-free) dispersant additive of the succinimide-type family common in automatic transmission fluid and engine oil formulations, where it keeps oxidation byproducts and sludge suspended rather than depositing on metal surfaces. It carries no GHS hazard classification in the source SDS and is disclosed only because New Jersey's state Right-to-Know program requires listing all components regardless of hazard status.
