Water-soluble Fluids and Emulsion Fluids
|
Water-soluble fluids and emulsion fluids have a high dilution or very low concentration and include high water content fluids (HWCF). Soluble oil fluids form an emulsion when mixed with water. The concentrate consists of a base mineral oil and emulsifiers to help produce a stable emulsion. They are used in a diluted form with concentrations ranging from 3% to 10%. They provide good lubrication and heat transfer performance. Water-soluble fluids and emulsion fluids are used widely in industry and are the least expensive among all cutting fluids. Water-soluble fluids are used as water-in-oil emulsions or oil-water-emulsions. Water-in-oil emulsions have a continuous phase of oil and superior lubricating and friction reduction qualities (i.e., metal forming and drawing). Oil-in-water emulsions consist of droplets of oil in a continuous water phase and have better cooling characteristics (i.e., metal cutting fluids and grinding coolants). Products & Services
