Sulfurized Isobutylene (GDT321C)

Sulfurized Isobutylene (T321), commonly known as sulfurized isobutylene or di-tert-butyl polysulfide, is a yellow oily transparent liquid.

It features excellent extreme-pressure and anti-wear performance, good oil solubility, and high structural stability.

This product is widely used as a primary additive for various industrial and automotive gear oils, and can also be applied in the formulation of anti-wear hydraulic oils and other lubricants.


Features

-Outstanding AW performance under extreme pressure conditions

-Good oil solubility

-High thermal stability


Packaging and Storage

Packaging:Available in 200-L steel drums, 1000-L IBC containers, or 20,000-L tank containers.

Storage:Store in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse at ambient temperature, protected from light (especially when using transparent or semi-transparent containers).The product may also be stored in large-capacity, dry, clean metal containers with nitrogen blanketing.

1、 After being thoroughly mixed at room temperature (20℃), the blend of 5% (m/m) 

GDT321C and 95% (m/m) base oil [60% (m/m) HVI150BS + 40% (m/m) HVI500] should 

appear clear and free from sediment upon visual inspection.

2、 The sulfur content in GDT321C can be determined using methods other than 

GB/T17040-2019 as well.

3、 5% (m/m) GDT321 + 95% (m/m) base oil [60% (m/m) HVI150BS + 40% (m/m) HVI500]
