Emulsifiers

Emulsifiers are the backbone of water-based metalworking fluid formulations, enabling the stable dispersion of water and oil to form effective, long-lasting emulsions. These emulsions serve dual purposes—cooling and lubricating—in critical metalworking operations, protecting both tools and workpieces. Our emulsifier packages are engineered to simplify formulation and production, offering turnkey solutions that accelerate development, reduce inventory complexity, and improve operational efficiency—all while meeting stringent performance and environmental standards.

Key Benefits of Our Emulsifier Packages

  • Simplified Inventory Management
 Pre-formulated packages reduce the number of raw materials to stock and manage.
  • Shorter Production Cycles
 Ready-to-use blends reduce manufacturing time and improve speed-to-market.
  • No R&D Required
 Eliminates the need for in-house formulation expertise or long development cycles.
  • Advanced, Proven Technology
 Built on decades of research, our emulsifier systems offer high-performance outcomes and regulatory compliance.
  • Operational Cost Efficiency
 Minimizes fixed costs through simplified processing and optimized package use.
  • Flexible, Scalable Formulations
 Tailored to suit both standard and specialty applications, including environmental and hazard-conscious requirements.
