ADDITIN® RC 7001
Product Description
Additin® RC 7001 is an aminic antioxidant of high purity and characterised as octylated diphenylamine. Additin® RC 7001 has excellent handling and blending properties. It is supplied in small granules in order to avoid dust problems associated with powders.
Additin® RC 7001 is used to stabilize lubricants against oxidation and sludge formation. (e.g. high temperature lubes like silicones, but also ATF). Typical treat rates are 0.5 - 2 %.
Additin® RC 7001 is also applied in greases and shows synergistic effects in combination with Additin® RC 7130 or Additin® RC 7010. In mineral oil based lubricants such as turbine oils Additin® RC 7001 is synergistically active in combination with phenols e.g. Additin® RC 7110 or Additin® RC 7115 and copper inhibitors e.g. Additin® RC 8239.
Please note that Lubricants formulated with Additin® RC 7001 may discolor in use. This has no negative effect on the lubricant characteristics and performance.
Additin® RC 7001 is in compliance with § 178.3570 according to U.S. Food and Drug administration regulations (lubricants with incidental food contact). This product is acceptable as an ingredient for use in lubricants with incidental food contact (HX-1) for use in and around food processing areas. The registration of this ingredient is for the use only as an antioxidant in lubricants with incidential food contact.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Not really: Ageing of lubricants includes several steps, the first being a radical step, followed by reaction of the radicals with oxygen from air. That reaction step involving oxygen is a chemical oxidation and used therefore pars pro toto to name the whole process!
Lanxess offers all three types of antioxidants: Primary antioxidants – radical scavengers – could be found in the product lines Additin RC 7xxx and Naugalube. Secondary antioxidants are not found under ANTIOXIDANTS directly, but as sulfur carriers and dithiophosphates work as secondary antioxidants, those could be found in the product lines Additin RC 2xxx, Additin RC 30xx and Additin RC 6xxx. Tertiary antioxidants are not found under ANTIOXIDANTS directly, but as corrosion inhibitors for cobalt, copper and steel work as tertiary antioxidants, those could be found in the product lines Additin RC 4xxx and Additin RC 82xx!
When scavenging radicals primary antioxidants turn into chemical species that might absorb light of different frequencies. The lubricant appears in a complementary color. Discoloration means the antioxidants are at work.
No: Antioxidants reduce the velocity of ageing but cannot turn time back! Therefore, antioxidants must be added before radicals are generated and ageing started!
