Lubricity and Extreme Pressure Additives

In order to reduce friction between a tool and a work piece, we’ve developed a family of extremely effective metalworking lubricity additives. By enhancing the lubrication and EP (extreme pressure) properties of both neat oil and water-based formulations, these additives extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs and improve the productivity of the machining process.

Our metalworking additives are built from esters, sulfur and phosphorous-based chemistries, giving you more flexibility in your formulation process and suitable alternates that meet the requirements of chlorine-free applications.
