Runlube 8353 EP/AW Additive Officially Passes EU REACH Registration, Securing "Green Pass" for the European Market

Recently, BAISCHEM’s flagship product, Runlube 8353 (CAS: 268567-32-4), officially passed the EU REACH regulation and successfully obtained the statutory market access qualification for the EU and the European Economic Area. Runlube 8353 is a high-performance ashless EP/AW additive, specially designed to meet the operational demands of modern machinery under extreme pressure and high-temperature conditions. It is suitable for a wide range of base oils, including mineral oils, synthetic oils, and semi-synthetic formulations.

What is REACH?

REACH is the EU regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. Among these, "Registration" is its core obligation, requiring all chemical substances with an annual production or import volume exceeding 1 mt to be registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

Successful registration means that the product has passed the EU's stringent chemical safety assessment and can be included in the core procurement lists of the European market. It is not only an authoritative proof of the product's strong performance but also a testament to the company's market soft power and a quality benchmark that customers can trust.

Features and Advantages of Runlube 8353

Runlube 8353 is an ashless dithiophosphate EP/AW additive. It significantly improves lubricating performance under boundary lubrication conditions and effectively enhances FZG load-carrying capacity. Even under high-load and high-temperature environments, it effectively reduces scuffing and galling, protects friction surfaces, and extends equipment service life.

Compared with other EP/AW additives, Runlube 8353 offers the following advantages:

· 

Excellent thermal and oxidative stability and hydrolytic stability: Suitable for formulating lubricating oils with high thermal-oxidative stability, such as extreme-pressure turbine oils and antiwear hydraulic oils.

Liquid at room temperature, easy to handle: Can be directly used in blending oil products that require high thermal-oxidative stability, including EP turbine oils and antiwear hydraulic fluids (AWHF).

FZG performance "booster": Widely applied in various lubricant systems, including industrial gear oils, ZnDTP-containing antiwear hydraulic oils, greases, and metalworking fluids (MWFs).

Outstanding compatibility: Shows good compatibility with water, calcium-containing detergents, ZnDTP, and existing conventional lubricant formulations.

Comprehensive metal protection: Exhibits no corrosive antagonistic effects on ferrous metals or non-ferrous metals such as copper and tin, without compromising the protection of any metal components.

· 

Summary

The completion of REACH registration is not merely a compliance certificate; it is also a solemn commitment from BAISCHEM to customers worldwide: technology-driven, and committed to green and sustainable development.

At present, BAISCHEM has already had multiple lubricant and metalworking fluid additives successfully registered under REACH, enter the EU market, gain recognition from European customers, and be put into use. If you are looking for a high-performance extreme-pressure antiwear additive, we believe BAISCHEM is your ideal choice.
