Meeting New Regulations: Innovative Additives for Metalworking fluid and Lubricants

Today’s formulators must adhere to specific regulations to ensure lubricants and metalworking fluids are approved by regulators and deliver efficacy in use. From reducing or eliminating sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur (SAPS) additives to improving environmental profiles, lubricants and metalworking fluids enhanced with versatile additives evolve to meet these continually changing regulations. Along with this demand for versatile materials that meet various constraints, additives for metalworking fluids and lubricant components must also ensure performance across applications. Syensqo’s range of lubricant components and metalworking fluid additives can aid formulators in meeting new regulations while still maintaining essential performance standards.

 

Eco-Friendly Additives for Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids 

Safe product

Today’s formulators use lubricant components and metalworking fluid additives to stay ahead of industry trends and develop solutions with improved environmental profiles as required by evolving regulations, including more eco-friendly classifications and no “dead fish” label. Syensqo’s lubricant components and metalworking fluid additives enable formulators to create mixtures that are better for the environment while also providing formulation benefits with simplified labels. Specifically, Lubrhophos® LF 800 and Lubrhophos® LF 832 are eco-friendly anti-wear (AW) additives that are designed for use in a variety of lubricants and metalworking fluid formulations to improve overall efficacy and ensure better environmental profiles. In metalworking fluids, our Alkamuls® VO/2005 and Antarox® CST/77 additives also allow simpler classification and promote no “dead fish” labels in a range of mixtures.

 

Reliable Performance with Lubricant Components and Metalworking Fluid Additives

As formulators adapt to today’s regulations, they must ensure expected performance benefits such as anti-wear, corrosion protection and foam control. Syensqo’s range of lubricant components and metalworking fluid additives contributes to enhanced performance and encourages formulators to develop innovative solutions that solve complex problems in a range of industries. To provide durable anti-wear and foam control performance, formulators utilize Lubrhophos® LF 800 and Lubrhophos® LF 832 in a variety of metalworking fluid mixtures. Additionally, Syensqo’s lubricant components, including Duraphos® AP-240L, Duraphos® DBHP and Duraphos® 178, deliver anti-wear and extreme pressure performance in some of the most challenging applications while also offering ash-less and sulfur-free benefits.
