LANXESS introduces a new ISCC PLUS-certified version of its established lubricant additive Additin RC 2515. More than 80% of the raw materials used come from sustainable sources and are verified in accordance with the ISCC PLUS standard.

LANXESS introduces ISCC PLUS-certified version of lubricant additive.

This process makes it possible to integrate renewable raw materials into production. Also, it ensures that the use of materials can be fully traced and that audits can be carried out by independent institutions.

This new version reduces the product carbon footprint (PCF) by 34% compared to the existing product. Customers in the lubricant industry can benefit from verifiable sustainability information and can manufacture their products in a more climate-friendly way.

The new additive also carries the Scopeblue label. The company uses this label to identify products consisting of at least 50% recycled or bio-based raw materials and have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional products.

Outstanding performance under extreme pressure

This light-colored, low-odor sulfur carrier product is produced using the mass balance approach.

With high lubricity and medium sulfur activity, the additive performs well in extreme pressure applications. Due to its low reactivity with non-ferrous metals, it is very well suited for the lubrication of components made of alloys such as brass and bronze.

Additin RC 2515 is extremely versatile. It can be used for fluids in metalworking, heavy metal-free EP greases, slideway lubricants and industrial gear oils.

With this new product, LANXESS is expanding its portfolio of certified, sustainable products that meet the growing market demand for climate-friendly solutions.
