Emulsifier packages for water-miscible and water-soluble coolants
Additiv-Chemie Luers (ACL) is a market leader in developing additive packages for formulating water-based metalworking fluids. A metalworking fluid typically consists of a base oil, an emulsifier package, and, depending on the type, water and biocide. Non-ferrous metal inhibitors or EP/AW additives can also be added.
Using packages simplifies the development and production of metalworking concentrates, offering:
- Simplified inventory of ready-made packages
- Short production cycles
- No development effort is required
- State-of-the-art technology and compliance with standards
- Proven formulations
- Lower fixed costs
ACL offers a wide variety of packages:
- For conventional metalworking fluids (milky) >60% mineral oil. Our formulations offer various dosages and corrosion protection options, ranging from a 12% to 30% package combined with water and mineral oil.
- Customized semi-synthetic metalworking fluids (boron-free, boron-amine based, sulfonate-free)
- Packages for fully synthetic fluids (boron-free or boron-containing)
- Packages for metal cleaners
- Very low foaming and water hardness independent (from 0-1500 ppm)
- Biocide-free (bio-stable concept). If desired, conventional biocide treatment is also available
- Minimal hazard classification under the Hazardous materials regulations
