PERFORMANCE oils. The customized high-performance additives and formulations in our Additin®
range improve extreme pressure resistance, help ­prevent mechanical wear, in-
crease ­corrosion protection and enhance antioxidancy – as single components
or additive packages. We contribute to the success of our customers’ business by
increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

A TRADITION OF INNOVATIONS Right from the beginning, Rhein Chemie Additives was a pioneer in the field of
lubricant additives. As early as the 1950s, we ­started to market low-odor and
high-performance extreme-pressure additives for lubricants. In subsequent years,
we focused on the ­development of lubricity esters, phosphorus and sulfur addi-
tives to r­ eplace chlorinated paraffins. Other examples of the ­innovative strength
of Rhein Chemie Additives are polymeric bound ­additives for greases, new wa-
ter-miscible additives and highly efficient additive packages for high-performance
­lubricants that fulfil the most recent international standards and specifications.

In recent years, we have developed new additives used to manufacture environ-

SUSTAINABILITY FOR A GOOD mentally acceptable lubricants that can be certified to the new European Ecola-
bel (EEL). Rhein Chemie Additives can also offer additives with OSPAR certifica-

tion, for the formulation of lubricants for offshore applications.

One of our primary goals is the ongoing improvement of our high quality level.
Our activities in this context are geared to our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 cer-
QUALITY WITHOUT tifications, which serve as an incentive to continuously improve our production
processes. One key to the excellent quality of our products is the state-of-the-art

technology used at our production sites in Mannheim, Antwerp and Qingdao.

Thanks to a worldwide distribution system, additives as well as excellent techni-

cal expertise are available practically anywhere around the world. The distribution
system depends on ­employees, agents and distributors in numerous countries

vented by appropriate additivation. The Additin® Corrosion Inhibition (CI)
range includes ash-containing and ash-free products to inhibit corrosion.

The Additin® CI range offers a number of desirable characteristics:

Excellent corrosion inhibition

Demulsibility in hydraulic oils
Antiwear performance in gear oils
Water resistance in greases
Detergency in engine oils
As with any product, use of the products mentioned in this publication in a given application must be

METAL SURFACES effectively reducing corrosion.

Certain acidic fumes, such as sulfur dioxide, are well known for their
accelerating effect on corrosion. To neutralize their impact, special
Additin® CI products are available for ­applications in highly aggressive
environments. They are equipped with additional alkaline reserves to
neutralize any fumes contributing to corrosion.

APPLICATION Already today, many Rhein Chemie components can be

used in water-miscible metalworking fluids with the help of emulsifiers.
The Additin® Water-Miscible (WM) series is ­designed for water-soluble
and emulsifiable metalworking fluids. The series is ideally suitable for the
formulation of:

Emulsifiable, semi-synthetic as well as water-soluble metalworking

fluids
HFC fluids
Water-based metal cleaners and antifreeze
In addition, several products can be used as tank-side ­additives

 ANTIOXIDANTS

APPLICATION Lubricants are highly susceptible to aging. The additives of the Additin®
Antioxidants (AO) range dramatically slow down the aging process with
all its negative side-effects.

Antioxidants perform well in nearly all lubricants and ­fuels. Depending on

the temperature of a given application, ­phenolic or aminic formulations,
or mixtures of both, may be recommended.

 SPECIALTIES

SYNTHETIC ESTERS These additives are based on selected raw materials to optimize affinity to
different metal surfaces, such as stainless steel (e.g. Additin® RC 8100)
AND POLYMERS
or aluminum (e.g. Additin® RC 8103).

EP ADDITIVES AND ­NON-FERROUS Non-ferrous metal deactivators with special EP properties (e.g. Additin®
RC 8210) play an important role in preventing corrosion and aging.
METAL DEACTIVATORS
These additives act as synergists to primary and secondary antioxidants.

POLYMERIC BOUND ADDITIVES Additin® RC 8400 is a non-dusting EP additive, especially suitable for
highly loaded greases.
As with any product, use of the products mentioned in this publication in a given application must be
tested (including field testing, etc.) by the user in advance to determine suitability.

 ADDITIVE PACKAGES

APPLICATION The ashless and zinc-based Additin® Packages (PA) meet the latest techno-
logical OEM and industry requirements and specifications. New low-sulfur
base oils, in combination with optimized additive packages offer superior op-
portunities for improving performance in hydraulic, turbine and compressor
oils. Highly efficient packages for low-friction slideway oils, greases, industrial
gear oils and metalworking provide solutions for the strictest requirements.
As with any product, use of the products mentioned in this publication in a given application must be
tested (including field testing, etc.) by the user in advance to determine suitability.

The ashless and zinc-based additive packages provide outstanding performance in a variety of applications even at the lowest treat rates. With
the newly developed ashless HLP-D package Additin® RC 9317, Rhein Chemie sets a new standard in the industry.

SYNERGY FOR HIGHER PERFORMANCE

MODE OF ACTION: The idea behind additive packages is to form a well-balanced com-
position of many different single components. Such ­solutions reflect
OUR KNOW-HOW AND SERVICE
a high level of know-how and clearly set ­Rhein Chemie Additives
IN ONE PACKAGE apart from other chemical suppliers as a true specialist in the field
of additives. Additive packages in the Additin® PA range are complex
formulations, proven ­solutions that help cut development time while
assuring high quality and reducing costs and complexity in analysis,
inventory and order management.

Our packages for greases feature excellent properties. They are designed specifically for high demands on extreme-pressure and antiwear performance,
corrosion protection (even under severe conditions e.g. sea water), as well as showing yellow metal compatibility combined with very good oxidation stability.
