ADDITIN® RC 2310
Low viscosity, inactive sulfur carrier
Additin® RC 2310 is an inactive, light colored, low odor, low viscosity sulfur carrier. It is used in manufacturing metalworking fluids for cutting operations and for EP greases. Due to its very low active sulfur content it is ideally suited for machining copper and its alloys. When compared to other sulfur carriers, Additin® RC 2310 exhibits a good wettability and enhanced solubility in various base fluids due to its specially selected raw materials. Therefore Additin® RC 2310 is also ideally suited for metalworking oils based on hydrocracked, polyalphaolefin and GTL oils. Its very low pour point (< -40°C) makes it an ideal choice for the formulation of EP greases for which a low temperature pumpability is required.
The performance of metalworking fluids containing Additin® RC 2310 can be further increased in combinations with zinc dithiophosphates, e.g. Additin® RC 3038, phosphoric acid partial esters like Additin® RC 3760 or ashless phosphorus-sulfur additives like Additin® RC 3890. Additin® RC 2310 is easily emulsifiable and a well-suited Extreme Pressure additive for soluble oils and semisynthetic metalworking fluids.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
EP additives form protective layers on metal surfaces that prevent adhesive wear under boundary and mixed friction conditions. The common types of Extreme Pressure additives are sulfur- based compounds, phosphorus- based compounds, chlorine-based compounds. LANXESS has a bright product portfolio of sulfur-based products Additin® EP and phosphorus-based products Additin® AW.
They are essential ingredients of most metalworking fluids, industrial lubricants like gear oils or slideway oils and EP greases.
They prevent cold welding of the gears tooth faces and flanks under high pressure conditions, particularly during starting, stopping or shock load processes.
This finally depends on the specific process or application in which the lubricant is supposed to be used. Our Application Technology team is happy to support you with further information. Please contact us here.
Sulfur carriers, chlorinated paraffins, some phosphorus compounds.
Short chain chlorinated paraffins (chain-length C10 – C13) are already banned and eliminated from metalworking fluid formulations in Europe and many other countries, due to their persistency in the environment with a high potential for bioaccumulation, and because of their classification as toxic to aquatic organisms, carcinogenic to rats and mice and possibly carcinogenic to humans. Medium chain chlorinated paraffins (chain-length C14 – C17) are also already banned or at least supposed to be banned in many countries within the next years because of their risks to the ecosystem and to human health. Many chlorinated paraffins are categorized according to the globally harmonized system of classification and labelling of chemicals as “very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects”. Sulfur carriers do not show any kind of hazard classification.
Depending on the specific metalworking process and the metal that is machined, different sulfur carriers or synergistic combinations of sulfur carriers and other additives can even exceed the performance of CLPs in metalworking fluids.
