Launch of a new Extreme Pressure Additive: SULFAD® 1717E
SEQENS propose a wide range of extreme pressure additives with customized features enabling formulation fine-tuning for neat and soluble oils, greases and industrial lubricants.
SEQENS extreme pressure additives are sulfurized molecules that provide resistance to high loads and at times combined good anti-wear performances. They react with metal surface under heavy loads and form a physical barrier that persists under extreme conditions, preventing metal to metal contact. The percentage of sulfur varies from 10% to 34%, active or inactive.
Relying on its expertise, SEQENS is supporting its customers by extending its Extreme Pressure additives range with a new sulfurized ester, SULFAD® 1717E.
SULFAD 1717E is a unique additive to answer customers need of compatibility with formula containing esters. Esters compete with copper corrosion inhibitors at the surface of the metal, making it very complex to find the right balance between EP and AW performances, copper corrosion properties and Health and Safety requirements.
SULFAD® 1717E has been specifically developed to have optimum copper corrosion performances when diluted in esters, saturated and unsaturated as well as in paraffinic oils. Also, SULFAD® 1717E has optimum solubility in Group I, II, III paraffinic base stocks and well as in Naphthenic base stocks (depending on base oil origin. It is recommended to check it in the finished product.).
SULFAD® 1717E is a light colored, low odour sulfurized mixture of natural fatty acid esters recommended for metalworking applications and greases additivation.
Thanks to its low viscosity, SULFAD® 1717E can be ideally used for formulating metalworking fluids such as deep hole drilling, grinding and honing oils from which good cooling effect is required.
Thus, SULFAD® 1717E exceptional performances and wide inventories status make it a versatile additive suitable for various formulations‘ types worldwide.
