EP-456
Sulfurized isobutylene
The highest-volume EP additive in industrial gear oils worldwide. High active sulphur, high load-carrying capacity, and the reference chemistry against which every alternative sulphur carrier is benchmarked.
- Sulphur
- 41 – 46%
Typical values, not a specification. The binding specification is the one on the certificate of analysis issued against each batch.
- CAS number
- 68511-50-2
Grades a formulator would benchmark EP-456 against. Naming them is not a claim of equivalence — it is where to start the comparison.
Extreme-Pressure Additives
Load-carrying film former under boundary lubrication
Active and inactive sulphur carriers that decompose at asperity contact temperatures and lay down an iron sulphide film. This is what stands between a gear tooth and scuffing failure. Sulphur activity level is the variable that decides yellow-metal compatibility.
A full technical data sheet, safety data sheet in the language of the receiving country, REACH status statement and SVHC declaration are issued with every enquiry for EP-456. Certificates of analysis accompany each consignment and retained samples are held for the full shelf life.
