Lubricity improvers

Hostagliss A Terra is a complex ester and can be used as lubricity improver in rolling emulsions and cutting & forming fluids. Despite its high viscosity, it can be easily incorporated into concentrates for water based emulsions. The product contributes to emulsion stability and corrosion protection when neutralized with alkanolamines. Furthermore, the product is compliant with medical applications since it is free of animal sources.

Hostagliss L4 is a complex ester and used as lubricity improver and water-dispersable corrosion inhibitor for milky, semisynthetic and neat oil metalworking fluids. Furthermore it is used as synthetic base fluid for rolling emulsions. Hostagliss L4 is also listed on the “Lubricant Substance Classification list (LuSC). Thus suitable for lubricants with European Ecolabel certification.

Hostagliss PA 135 is a polar polymer with multiple functional groups exhibiting a high affinity to metal surfaces. Hostagliss PA135 has good lubricity and anti-wear properties and it is used as a component of non-water miscible metal working fluids such as cutting oils or deep drawing oils. Other applications are rolling emulsions, gear oils and greases.

Genapol RPF 1720 is specially designed to be used for fully synthetic metal working fluids and silicon ingots slicing fluid. It is resistant to water hardness, metal salts, acids and alkalis in practice-orientated concentrations. Additionally, it provides excellent wetting properties resulting in a low surface tension (34,8 mN/m in water) and a low contact angle on steel (surface tension 5% in water 34.4 mN/m, contact angle V2A steel, 5% in water 15.5°).

Genapol RPF 1740 is specially designed to be used for fully synthetic metal working fluids and silicon ingots slicing fluid. It is resistant to water hardness, metal salts, acids and alkalis in practice-orientated concentrations. Additionally, it provides excellent wetting properties resulting in a low surface tension (34,8 mN/m in water).

Genapol PN 30 is a EO/PO block copolymer and used as a low foaming surfactant and lubricity improver in metal working fluids and metal cleaners. It is stable against hard water. In combination with corrosion inhibitors like Hostacor IT, Hostacor BIT or Hostacor BI, clear water soluble metal working fluids with good corrosion protecting and lubricating properties are obtained.

Genapol B is a PO/EO/PO block polymer and used as a low foaming surfactant and lubricity improver in metal working fluids and metal cleaners. It is stable against hard water. In combination with corrosion inhibitors such as Hostacor IT, clear water soluble metalworking fluids with good lubricating and corrosion protecting properties are obtained.
