ADDITIN® RC 7110
Phenolic antioxidant, solid, crystalline, with NSF HX-1, also for fuels
Additin® RC 7110 is a crystalline
antioxidant belonging to the group of sterically hindered, non-discoloring
phenols. It is used as a universal oxidation inhibitor in most lubricant types
and is known for stabilizing vegetable and animal fats. Therefore, it is
recommended for stabilizing biodegradable lubricants such as rapeseed oil and
synthetic esters. Limitations are given by the long term oil temperature which
should not exceed 90°C in open and 120°C in closed systems. Additin® RC 7110 is
easily soluble in most mineral oils and synthetic base stocks.
The combination of Additin® RC 7110 with aminic antioxidants, e.g. Additin® RC 7135 LD and/or copper deactivators, e.g. Additin® RC 8239, is leading to more extensive oxidation inhibiting properties.
Additin® RC 7110 is NSF listed. Additin® RC 7110 is in compliance with § 178.3570 according to U.S. Food and Drug administration regulations (lubricants with incidental food contact). The product is acceptable as an ingredient for use in lubricants with incidental food contact (HX-1) for use in and around food processing areas.

FAQ
Below, you will find some of our most frequently asked questions. In case you have any question that is not answered - feel free to contact us!
The undesirable chemical transformation of mineral and synthetic products (e.g. lubricants, fuels) in use and during storage is referred to as aging. The process is triggered by reactions with oxygen (producing peroxides and hydrocarbon radicals). Heat, light, and the catalytic effects of metals and other contaminants speed up oxidation, which generates acids and sludge. Substances that protect a lubricant from aging – antioxidants (AO) – delay degradation, thus extending service life.
There are two main types of antioxidants:
Primary antioxidants (radical scavengers): These include hindered phenols and aromatic amines, which neutralize free radicals.
Secondary antioxidants (peroxide decomposers): These include sulfur and phosphorus compounds, which transform peroxides into non-reactive products.
Corrosion inhibitors and metal passivators are sometimes classified as tertiary antioxidants because they mitigate negative interactions with metal surfaces.
Primary antioxidants (radical scavengers) can be found in our Additin® RC 7xxx and Naugalube® product lines.
Secondary antioxidants are not found under "antioxidants” directly, but as sulfur carriers and dithiophosphates. See Additin® RC 2xxx, Additin® RC 30xx, and Additin® RC 6xxx.
For tertiary antioxidants (corrosion inhibitors for cobalt, copper, and steel), see Additin® RC 4xxx and Additin® RC 82xx.
