 Applications for the NA-LUBE EP 5000 Series

The NA-LUBE EP 5000 Series consists of a variety of novel sulfur-containing additives with total sulfur content
ranging from approximately 10% to 65% and the active sulfur content ranging from <1.5% to 18%. Because these
unique products provide both extreme pressure and antiwear properties and also perform as friction modifiers, they
are used in a wide variety of lubricant applications, including:

 Industrial Gear Oils

 Automotive Gear Oils

 Automatic Transmission Fluids

 Slideway Oils
 NA-LUBE EP-5210 and EP-5415 are well suited for formulating slideway oils.

 Hydraulic Fluids

 Rust and Oxidation Oils

 Greases
 NA-LUBE EP-5210, NA-LUBE EP-5415 and NA-LUBE EP-5665 are highly
recommended for grease applications including non-antimony/lead containing EP
greases.

 “Neat Oil” Metalworking Fluids

 NA-LUBE EP-5131, EP-5210, EP-5216, EP-5218, EP-5310, EP-5316, EP-5415 and EP-5425 are
outstanding alternatives to chlorinated paraffins in metalworking fluids, when used in
combination with ash-producing or ashless phosphorus-type antiwear and boundary lubrication
additives.

 NA-LUBE EP-5131, EP-5216, EP-5218, EP-5310, EP-5316, EP-5415 and EP-5425 are
highly suitable for heavy-duty drilling and cutting operations.

 Water Miscible Metalworking Fluid Concentrates

 Environmentally Friendly Lubricants and Greases

The NA-LUBE EP 5000 sulfur carriers, when combined with NA-LUBE AW, NA-LUBE AO, NA-SUL and K-CORR
products, are highly suitable for formulating high quality/high performance industrial and automotive lubricants and
greases.

Solubility

NA-LUBE EP-5121, EP-5131, EP-5210, EP-5216, and EP-5218 have excellent solubility in hydrotreated mineral oils,
synthetic diesters, and fatty oils. NA-LUBE EP-5316 has solubility in napththenic and solvent refined Group I base oils.
NA-LUBE EP-5415 extends solubility to Group II base oils as well.

NA-LUBE EP-5310’s unique chemistry gives it outstanding solubility characteristics in naphthenic and solvent refined
Group I base oils. Due to its novel chemistry, NA-LUBE EP-5310 provides improved lubricity over similar inactive sulfur
fatty acid ester type extreme pressure additives.
