1.What is lubricant emulsion additives?
Lubricant emulsion additives are chemical compounds that are added to oil-in-water emulsion lubricants to enhance their performance and provide specific properties for various industrial applications, particularly in machining, metalworking, and other cutting processes. Emulsion additives are carefully formulated to improve the stability, lubricating properties, cooling capabilities, and overall effectiveness of the emulsion lubricant.
2.Here are some common types of lubricant emulsion additives and their functions:
- Emulsifiers: Emulsifiers are additives that promote the mixing and stability of oil and water in an emulsion. They help prevent the oil droplets from coalescing and separating from the water phase, ensuring a uniform mixture. Proper emulsification is essential to maintain the desired properties of the lubricant over time.
- Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives: EP additives are used to enhance the lubrication of the emulsion, particularly in applications where high pressure and heavy loads are present. These additives form a protective film on the metal surfaces, reducing wear and preventing metal-to-metal contact.
- Corrosion Inhibitors: Corrosion inhibitors protect metal surfaces from rust and corrosion in the presence of water. Adding corrosion inhibitors to the emulsion helps prevent damage to both the machine tool and the workpiece.
- Anti-Foaming Agents: Emulsion lubricants can sometimes generate foam, which can hinder the proper functioning of the machining process. Anti-foaming agents help reduce foam formation and maintain efficient coolant flow.
- Biocides: Biocides are additives that inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in the emulsion. Since water-based emulsions can provide a suitable environment for microbial growth, biocides help prevent bacterial contamination and maintain fluid stability.
- pH Balancers: pH-balancing additives help maintain the desired acidity or alkalinity of the emulsion. Proper pH levels are crucial for emulsion stability and effectiveness.
- Viscosity Modifiers: Viscosity modifiers can be added to control the thickness or flow properties of the emulsion, ensuring that it flows properly through the machining system.
- Anti-Wear Additives: Anti-wear additives enhance the lubrication of the emulsion, reducing friction and wear between the cutting tool and workpiece.
- Rust Preventatives: Rust preventatives provide additional protection against corrosion during machining operations. They form a protective barrier on the metal surfaces, preventing the formation of rust.
3.T6007A emulsified oil additive package
T6007A is a kind of additive package developed for the environment friendly emulsified oil. It is suitable for various emulsified oil. Widely used in carbon steel, copper alloy and aluminum alloy working process. It also can be used for blending demoulding emulsified oil, flame retardant emulsified liquid ,etc.
4.What worth noticing about lubricant emulsion additives？
Lubricant emulsion additives are selected based on the specific requirements of the machining process, material being machined, and desired outcomes. Manufacturers of emulsion lubricants often provide pre-formulated blends of additives to ensure that the emulsion achieves the desired balance of lubrication, cooling, and protection. Proper formulation, maintenance, and monitoring of emulsion lubricants are essential to maximize their effectiveness and prolong tool life while maintaining the health of the coolant system.
