General-purpose emulsifiable cutting oil additive

Common types of emulsifiable cutting oil additives include:

Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives: These additives help reduce friction and wear between the cutting tool and the workpiece, especially under high-pressure conditions. They contain compounds like sulfur, phosphorus, or chlorine.

Anti-Wear Additives: These additives form a protective layer on the metal surfaces, reducing wear and extending tool life. Compounds such as fatty acids or esters are often used for this purpose.

Corrosion Inhibitors: They prevent the formation of rust on both the workpiece and the machinery by forming a protective barrier against moisture and oxygen.

Coolant Enhancers: Some additives are included to improve the cooling properties of the cutting oil, helping dissipate heat generated during the cutting process.

Biocides: These additives prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in the emulsion, which can otherwise cause odors, degradation of the oil, and potential health hazards.

Stabilizers and Emulsifiers: These ensure the stability of the oil-water emulsion, maintaining a consistent mixture that optimizes cutting performance.

When choosing an emulsifiable cutting oil additive, factors like the machining process, materials being worked on, and environmental considerations need to be taken into account. Different additives offer varying benefits and are often combined to create a cutting fluid suitable for specific applications.
