ADDITIN® RC 5001

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
