Components for Metalworking Fluid Formulations
More
The properties of a metalworking fluid are determined by the combined performance of its base fluid, emulsifier system and functional additives. REVADA supplies components for water-soluble, water-miscible and neat-oil formulations used in cutting, grinding, forming and other metalworking operations.
Functional Additives for Metalworking Fluid Production
- Corrosion inhibitors for aqueous and oil-based systems and for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
- EP/AW additives for extreme-pressure and anti-wear performance.
- Biocides for metalworking fluids to control the microbiological stability of aqueous systems.
- Non-ionic surfactants and fatty acid amides.
- Defoamers for metalworking fluids to control foam in concentrates and working fluids.
- Water-miscible esters, synthetic monoesters and pentaerythritol esters.
- Phosphate esters for oil-soluble and water-miscible systems.
Selecting Components for a Metalworking Fluid Formulation
Selection should account for the type of fluid, the metal being processed, the operation, water hardness, working pH, foaming tendency and compatibility between all components. Treat rate and order of addition should be determined from the technical documentation and verified in the intended formulation.
Contact REVADA to discuss the application, request technical information and select products for laboratory evaluation.
