Metalworking fluids (MWFs) are essential in machining and metal-forming processes, providing lubrication, cooling, and corrosion protection. A well-formulated metalworking fluid enhances tool life, improves surface finish, increases production rates, and maintains workplace safety. This article outlines the key components and formulation process for a basic metalworking fluid. Understanding Metalworking Fluid Types Metalworking fluids are categorized... Read more »
Dibasic acid mixtures ranging in length from C10 to C12 (Sebacic Acid, Dodecanedioic Acid (DDDA) and Undecanedioic Acid) can be formulated as an amine salt concentrate for a variety of corrosion inhibition applications. This mixture creates a strong protective layer of inhibition on a metal surface and is especially effective at ferrous corrosion protection for... Read more »
