Lubricants & Lubricant Additives

In metal working, lubricants reduce friction during machining, prevent tool wear, improve surface finish, and enhance process efficiency. They protect both the workpiece and cutting tools.

Lubricity aids in personal care products provide smoothness and slip, improving product feel and application. They enhance the sensory properties of lotions, creams, and hair care products.

Metal working uses various specialty chemicals including lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, brighteners, metal complexing agents, and low-foam surfactants. These chemicals improve machining efficiency, protect metal surfaces, and enhance finishing processes.

Corrosion inhibitors form a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing oxidation and degradation. They are essential in metalworking fluids, cleaning solutions, and protective coatings to extend equipment life and maintain surface quality.

Metal complexing agents bind with metal ions, preventing unwanted reactions and improving process control. They are used in metal finishing, electroplating, and cleaning applications to enhance process efficiency and product quality.

Brightener additives enhance the brightness and appearance of metal surfaces during finishing processes. They improve surface quality, provide uniform appearance, and enhance the aesthetic properties of finished metal products.

End-capped surfactants are modified surfactants with blocked reactive groups, providing improved stability and performance. In metal working, they offer better foam control, improved compatibility, and enhanced performance in various metal processing applications.

Yes, we offer low-foam surfactants specifically designed for metal working applications. These surfactants provide effective cleaning and processing benefits while minimizing foam formation, which is critical in high-speed metal processing operations.
