Product Applications
  • Greases 
  • Slideway oils 
  • Industrial gear oils 
  • metalworking fluids Additin® RC 2515 is a nearly odourless, light-coloured sulphur carrier. Due to its outstanding EP properties and low activity against nonferrous metal Additin® RC 2515 is ideally suited for formulating heavy metal-free EP greases and slideway oils with good anti-stick-slip behaviour.
  • In order to improve the overall performance of the EP grease or slideway oil formulation the addition of antioxidants such as Additin® RC 7110 and/or Additin® RC 7135 with anticorrosion additives, e.g. Additin® RC 4220, is recommended.
  • Additin® RC 2515 is especially suited for use in metalforming operations of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys containing yellow metals.
