ADDITIN® RC 5202 is a water-soluble extreme pressure (EP) additive developed for demanding metalworking operations requiring enhanced load-carrying performance. Its sulfur-nitrogen chemistry provides effective protection under high-pressure conditions, making it particularly suitable for fully synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluid formulations.
Thanks to its excellent water solubility, ADDITIN® RC 5202 enables the formulation of oil-free aqueous EP systems and can also be added directly to metalworking solutions to boost performance during operation.
Key Benefits
• Improves extreme pressure (EP) performance
• Suitable for severe metalworking applications
• Fully water-soluble and mineral oil-free
• Ideal for fully synthetic and semi-synthetic formulations
• Supports oil-free aqueous EP systems
• Suitable for tank-side addition
• Easy incorporation into water-based metalworking fluids
Typical Applications
• Fully synthetic metalworking fluids
• Semi-synthetic metalworking fluids
• Wire drawing fluids
• Metal forming lubricants
• Tinplate ironing operations
• Tank-side performance enhancement of metalworking solutions
Formulation Advantages
ADDITIN® RC 5202 is readily soluble in water-based concentrates with high water content and offers formulators a practical solution for increasing EP performance without the use of mineral oil. For optimized lubricity and anti-wear performance, it can be combined with complementary lubricity additives such as ADDITIN® RC 5010.
