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