TPS Range of EP Additives

Arkema produces sulfur based extreme-pressure additives for metalworking fluids and other industrial lubricants such as greases, slideway oils and gear oils. These additives are light color, low odor and have an excellent environmental and safety profile. Active sulfurized additives react at low temperatures while inactive sulfurized additives are very stable and do not corrode copper.

Arkema’s TPS® (tertiary alkyl poly-sulfides) product lines consist of the following grades

TPS® 20: Trisulfide extreme-pressure and anti-wear additives, which are virtually non-corrosive to copper. They are suitable for working with copper alloys, gear oil formulations and soluble oil formulations for cold-rolling. Trisulfides provide excellent thermal stability. TPS® 20 is odorless, making it the best choice for rolling oils.

TPS® 32: Pentasulfide extreme-pressure additives with high active sulfur content readily available even at low temperatures. TPS® 32 have excellent chemical stability and are lighter color and lower odor than sulfurized olefins. They are particularly suitable for highly demanding applications with steel.

TPS® provide Sulfur exactly where and when you need it.
