Lubrizol® 5411 Additive

Slideway Additive Package
Soluble and Stable – For Better Performance

Lubrizol® 5411 additive technology is a dedicated additive package designed for use in machine tool slides. Soluble and stable in a range of paraffinic oils, Lubrizol 5411 offers lubricant formulators more choices by providing outstanding performance in their preferred industrial lubricant base stock. Manufacturers depend on slideway lubricants to deliver smooth, trouble-free performance under tough conditions. Ashless and phosphorus-free, Lubrizol 5411 meets the slideway challenge with a unique combination of robust frictional characteristics and high extreme pressure capability, resulting in smooth operation, less wear and longer equipment life.

Benefits Overview

More Choices

• Completely soluble in a wide range of base stocks

Trouble-free performance

• Exceptional frictional characteristics
• High extreme pressure performance

Lower maintenance costs/reduced downtime

• Compatible with aqueous metalworking fluids
• Strong demulsibility/water separation characteristics
• Compatible with lubricant filtration systems (Bijur Filtration)

Compatibility with Metalworking Fluids

Co-mingling of slideway lubricants and metalworking fluids (MWFs) is inevitable and can lead to fluid contamination. Products formulated with Lubrizol 5411 provide excellent demulsibility characteristics – allowing for easy removal of metalworking fluid contamination and ensuring smooth machine tool operation.

Results of SKC Gleittechnik GmbH procedure conducted with 12 different commercially available MWFs. The procedure predicts potential problem with slideway lubricant function following MWF ingress. Slideway lubricants built from Lubrizol 5411 demonstrated stage 1-2 performance with all twelve aqueous cutting fluids dictated by test protocol after one day and seven day observations

Phosphorus Free Technology

Certain industry specifications (GM LS2) impose limitations on the amount of phosphorus acceptable in slideway lubricants. Manufacturers are also concerned with phosphorus “leaching” into aqueous metalworking fluids. In response, Lubrizol 5411
technology was specifically designed without phosphorus chemistry so it can be used with confidence. Additionally, specified residual element limits (metals) can also be met with Lubrizol 5411-based formulations.

Performance Credentials

Slideway lubricants formulated with Lubrizol 5411 meet or exceed the following requirement specifications:

• Cincinnati Machine P-47 @ 1.5% wt
• General Motors LS2 @ 2.0% wt
