Emulsifier with dispersing properties for metal working fluids
Emulsogen™ 4616
Edition Date :
February 06, 2026
Emulsogen™ 4616 is a selected blend of low foaming ether carboxylic acids with good emulsification and dispersing properties. It is a suitable co-emulsifier for a broad variety of emulsifiable metal working fluids. In combination with other suitable nonionic or anionic components, as little as 2-3 % Emulsogen™ 4616 in the mineral oil concentrate is sufficient for improved emulsion stability and dispersity.
