Lubricity improver for rolling emulsions and cutting & forming fluids
Hostagliss A
Edition Date :
April 19, 2023
Hostagliss A 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.
