ADDITIN® RC 5201

ADDITIN® RC 5201 is a sulfur-rich extreme pressure (EP) additive designed to enhance the load-carrying performance of water-miscible metalworking fluids. Based on dimercaptothiadiazole technology, it is particularly effective in demanding machining and forming operations where enhanced protection against wear and surface damage is required.

The additive is especially suitable for fully synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluid formulations and can be incorporated into aqueous systems after neutralization. In addition, ADDITIN® RC 5201 can be used to improve the EP performance of grease formulations.

• Enhances extreme pressure (EP) performance

• Supports demanding metalworking operations

• Suitable for fully synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids

• Effective in severe forming and drawing applications

• Can be neutralized for use in water-based formulations

• Also applicable in grease formulations

• Mineral oil-free

• Fully synthetic metalworking fluids

• Semi-synthetic metalworking fluids

• Wire drawing fluids

• Metal forming lubricants

• Tinplate ironing operations

• Industrial greases

ADDITIN® RC 5201 can be dissolved in water-based formulations after neutralization with suitable alkaline agents, enabling the formulation of high-performance metalworking fluids with enhanced EP characteristics. The product is also readily dispersible in greases, offering formulators flexibility across multiple lubrication applications.
