- Product Uses
- NA-LUBE® EP-5218 is a low odor, light colored sulfur carrier based on fatty acid ester chemistry. The unique chemistry gives it excellent solubility in severely hydrotreated mineral oils, polyalphaolefins and ester basestocks for industrial lubricants and neat metalworking fluids.
- When used in combination with appropriate metal-containing or ashless phosphorus-containing antiwear or lubricity additives, NA-LUBE® EP-5218 provides excellent extreme pressure properties and offers an alternative to chlorinated paraffins in metalworking fluids, especially for heavy duty cutting operations.
