KetjenlubeHigh Performance EstersMetal Working Fluids

Ketjenlube Polymer Esters are used commercially in a wide range of metal working applications at treat levels of between 5% to 25% depending on the application and metal being machined:

>> In neat oils>> In water-miscible fluids (soluble oils) >> For metal cutting operations (e.g. broaching, tapping, milling) >> For metal forming operations (e.g. rolling, drawing, stamping)

The performance of Ketjenlube Polymer Ester containing fluids is further increased when combined with Antiwear/EP agents, so enabling high performance formulations to be made which are characterised by:

>> High film strength for good tool life and surface finish especially on hard metals; >> Reduction in mist generation especially in neat oil applications;>> Low carbon residues in post annealing operations in forming applications (stamping, drawing);>> Oxidative stabillity preventing corrosion, maintaining flash point and reducing shear in high pressure applications;>> Enhanced hydrolytic stability, improving long term stability of the product and maintaining cutting performance;>> Biological resistance reducing bacterial degradation of the ester component so enhancing the stability of an emulsion over extended periods thereby enhanging tool life and surface finish.

Ketjenlube high performance esters have the added advantage of:

>> Superior compatibility with gp I, II, III and other highly refined base oils.>> Favourable toxicological profile.>> Versatility in a wide range of conditions and applications.

Italmatch Chemicals has invested extensively in the capability to evaluate the performance characteristics of the Ketjenlube Polymer esters in both laboratory based and external customer orientated application tests. Within the new Italmatch application laboratory the use of recognized performance test equipment such as Four-Ball, Reichert, Pin & Vee Block Falex, MICROTAP and CNOMO is creating a further detailed understanding of the application of the complete product range and differentation of the existing and newly developed products.
