Calcinate® NC

Neutral Calcium Sulfonate

Description

Calcinate® NC is first intent 30 TBN neutral calcium sulfonate. This neutral calcium sulfonate product is designed to exhibit a low level of reactivity in formulations due to its limited free alkalinity, while providing detergency, rust inhibition and boundary lubrication characteristics. The use of Calcinate® NC is recommended for lubricant formulations where cleanliness is desired. Calcinate® NC is compatible with mineral base oils, white oils, and synthetic base stocks, and may also be used with esters to provide detergency and corrosion protection.

Application

Hydraulic fluids, stationary diesel lubricants, soluble oils, cutting fluids, and rust preventive oils.

Typical Treat

Nominal dosages would range from 0.5 to 10.0 wt. % of the finished lubricant.
