Product Applications
  • Additin® RC 2545 is an extreme pressure additive high sulfur content.
  • It can be used to formulate industrial lubricants which require a high level of extreme pressure performance.
  • Main applications for RC 2545 are gear oils and EP-Greases.
  • Additin® RC 2545 has a characteristic intensive smell.
  • Therefore, we recommend to use it in closed systems like gear boxes.
