Additives for metal working fluids

Generally, organic antifoams combine excellent compatibility with moderate efficiency. On the other hand, silicone oilbased antifoams offer high efficiency with often poor compatibility. Organomodified siloxane based antifoams combine the best properties of these two worlds. TEGO^® Antifoam technology is the perfect combination of organomodified siloxane technology with specially designed hydrophobic particles.

Additives are integral components of metalworking fluid formulations and render simple base fluids into high-performance coolants for metalworking applications. By using suitable additives the physical and chemical properties of a given base fluid can be fine-tuned to fulfill the ever increasing requirements of a specific metalworking process. Most of these additives are surface-active products that help control interfacial phenomena.

We, as a globally recognized supplier of specialty surface-active additives, offer a wide range of foam control agents, emulsifiers, and corrosion inhibitors as well as chemical and technological know-how for metalworking fluid formulators. Today our additives for metalworking fluids are found in widespread applications in the various individual metalworking operation steps.
