ULTRA-STABLE EMULSIFIERS FOR METALWORKING FLUIDS
Emulsifiers are structural additives for soluble and semi-synthetic type metalworking fluids. As such, they are part of the answers to the many challenges faced by the MWF formulators, among which are the improved foam and defoaming control driven by the high pressure machine tools or the difficult task of controlling fungi and bacteria growth control due to more stringent regulations on fungicides and biocides. Besides, emulsifiers may provide MWF formulations with side benefits: aluminum staining inhibition, anti-wear performance
