Multi-Purpose Emulsifier Base For Soluble Oils Nitrite Free-KIM 5103

KIM 5103 has been formulated to meet the requirements for the preparation of soluble oils from paraffinic and naphthenic base oils, and give stable milky emulsions in all types of water. It is also suitable as the base for the preparation of translucent semi-synthetic micro-emulsions and heavy-duty EP emulsions.

It is a blend of emulsifying agents, wetting agents, and rust inhibitors, together with solvent refined mineral oils. It contains biocides and fungicide additives to give the finished soluble oils long service life, prevent emulsion breakdown and spoilage.

KIM 5103 is an extremely versatile product for medium-cutting operations. It provides all the lubrication and cooling properties necessary to ensure good work piece finish, and extended tool life. It is suitable on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in turning, milling, drilling, tapping, threading and cold sawing operations.

For improved emulsion stability the concentrate can be adjusted for the base oil used by addition of more acid (Oleic, Tall oil Distillate) or by more alkali (Tri-ethanolamine, Potassium Hydroxide).

Typical opaque soluble oil formulations

A treat rate of 15-20 %wt in paraffinic base oils yields a concentrate, which forms stable emulsions (5%) in medium hard water. The pH-value of a 5% emulsion is between 8.5-8.8. The addition of biocide is recommended.
