Emulsifiers

Environmentally friendly nonionic emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers for metal working fluids. These nonionic emulsifiers are mainly based on glycerol fatty acid ester and sorbitanester chemistry. In general, glycerol fatty acid ester-based products are used as primary emulsifiers which also improve lubrication whereas sorbitanester-based emulsifiers are used as co-emulsifiers. Our emulsifiers combine outstanding performance with excellent toxicological, ecological and dermatological properties. Furthermore, they are classified as non water hazardous (water hazard classification 1).

Properties of glycerol fatty acid esters:

Excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties
Improve lubricating properties
Reduce the amount of antifoam and corrosion inhibitor
Positive influence on the solubility of biocides/fungicides
Synergistic effects with ethoxylated fatty alcohols
Excellent solubility in vegetable and synthetic oils
Derived from renewable resources
No skin irritation
Low water hazard classification (WGK 1)

Our emulsifiers can be used with most base oils. To emulsify a particular oil, emulsifiers with precisely adjusted HLB values are needed. For this reason the required HLB value needs to be adjusted by blending emulsifiers with appropriate co-emulsifiers.
