ADDITIN® RC 5001
Lubricity additive for fully synthetic metalworking fluids and HFC hydraulic fluids.
Product Description
ADDITIN® RC 5001 is a water-soluble lubricity additive based on polyalkylene glycol ether technology. It is designed to enhance lubrication performance in fully synthetic metalworking fluids while maintaining excellent foam control and operational reliability.
The product combines high lubricity with complete water solubility, making it suitable for both concentrate formulations and tank-side addition. In addition, ADDITIN® RC 5001 can be used as a low-foaming base fluid component in HFC hydraulic fluids.
Key Benefits
• High lubricity for improved machining performance
• Low-foaming characteristics
• Fully water-soluble at all mixing ratios
• Suitable for oil-free synthetic metalworking fluids
• Flexible use in concentrates and tank-side applications
• Applicable in HFC hydraulic fluid formulations
• Good low-temperature properties
Typical Applications
• Fully synthetic metalworking fluids
• Oil-free metalworking fluid formulations
• Tank-side addition to metalworking solutions
• HFC hydraulic fluids
Formulation Advantages
ADDITIN® RC 5001 is readily incorporated into fully synthetic concentrates and can also be added directly to working solutions under sufficient agitation. Its versatility allows formulators to improve lubrication performance while maintaining the low-foaming behavior required in modern metalworking and hydraulic fluid applications.
