Without lubricants, industry would come to a standstill. They ensure that machines do not wear out quickly. They also transport heat and energy, and even protect against corrosion. Under the brand name Additin, LANXESS offers a comprehensive product line of additives and additive packages for cooling lubricants, industrial lubricants and greases.

Lubricants and greases are complex functional elements which are used in a wide variety of applications in industry and transport. Examples of applications are metal working fluids in component production for the automotive industry, gear and hydraulic oils for the operation of construction machinery and rolling oils for steel production.

“A balanced formulation of additives and basic oils is necessary to achieve the positive characteristics. In addition to constantly increasing demands on the performance and energy efficiency of additives, environmental compatibility and biodegradability play an increasingly important role”, explains Wilhelm Rehbein, lubricant expert for the LANXESS division Rhein Chemie Additives.

With more than 60 years of experience in development and production, LANXESS has in-depth expertise in the area of lubrication additives. The company is a global leader in the production of low-odor high-pressure additives for metal working fluids and is one of the most experienced producers of anti-wear additives.
