Metal Working

Emulsifiers, base stocks, thickeners, corrosion inhibitors, and performance enhancers are essential components in lubricant formulations. Emulsifiers provide flexibility to formulators by stabilizing oil-water mixtures, while diverse PAG base stocks offer low surface tension and good wetting properties. Thickeners like UCON™ 75-H series products improve lubricity and cleanliness. Corrosion inhibitors, such as ethanolamines, prevent corrosion by neutralizing acidic components. Performance enhancers, like Dow's oil-soluble PAGs, enhance lubricant performance, making them crucial in maintaining machinery efficiency and longevity.
