Additin® RC 8012

Additin® RC 8012 is a sulfurized fatty acid ester used as a lubricity additive, anti-wear agent, and friction modifier in gear oils, greases, hydraulic oils, and finishing fluids. It provides excellent lubricity, extreme pressure performance, friction reduction, and improved anti-wear properties. This product is also suitable for use in industrial additives, particularly in drilling muds.

Application Information
  • Drilling Muds
  • Greases
  • Connector lubricants, Jacking greases
  • Offshore lubricants such as gear oils, hydraulic fluids, finishing fluids
  • Windmill gears for offshore and onshore wind farms
  • Use in lubricants and greases for railroad and/or near water courses or any environmentally sensitive area
  • Additin® RC 8012 is a unique performance chemical designed for use in all environmentally sensitive applications, particularly offshore. It provides outstanding lubricity, friction reduction as well as drag/wear reduction under extreme pressure frictional conditions. This outstanding technical performance is combined with excellent compatibility with the sea water environment, as proven by marine food chain toxicity and sea water biodegradability tests.
  • Additin® RC 8012 is a unique state of the art high technology product to fulfillll the challenges in all environmentally sensitive applications, including offshore lubricants and fluids by combining improved technical performance with environmental compatibility.
  • It is ideally suited for heavy duty drilling operations both in oil and in waterbased muds where a low frictional lubrication film is essential in order to protect casing and tubing against wear and reduce drilling force and energy consumption. It may be considered a univerisal performance chemical to improve life time of equipment, reduce friction for a longer, deeper and smoother drill and thereby increase the rate of penetration (ROP). Additin® RC 8012 enhances extreme pressure, antiwear and lubricity properties in all kinds of offshore fluids and lubricants such finishing fluids, hydraulics, gears oils and greases (e.g. connector greases).
