Applications
Product Applications
  • Water miscible metalworking fluids
  • Neat metalworking fluids
  • Greases
  • Industrial lubricants
  • Rolling oils
  • Additin® RC 2541 is a dialkylpolysulfide with low copper corrosion and improved load carrying capacity.
  • It is suitable for use in applications where high sulfur content and reactivity is required, but yellow metal compatibility at moderate temperatures is also necessary.

Properties

Physical Form
Soluble In
Solubility Data
  • Soluble in mineral oils and synthetic base oils.
  • However, it is necessary to verify the solubility in the base oils used and the compatibility with other additives.
