Emulsifiers & Base Chemicals for Lubrication
Pharcos manufactures surfactants and polymers for the lubricant industry. Our products serve as emulsifiers for metalworking fluids, pour point depressants, corrosion inhibitors, and base stocks for water-soluble lubricants. We support the formulation of cutting fluids, drawing compounds, and specialty industrial lubricants.
Application Areas
Soluble Cutting Oils
Oleyl Amine Ethoxylates (Pharcos OA) serve as the primary emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor for soluble cutting oils. They form stable milky emulsions with mineral oil bases at 10-20% emulsifier concentration.
Semi-Synthetic Fluids
Stearyl Ethoxylates (Pharcos S) combined with Castor Oil Ethoxylates (Pharcos CE) create translucent micro-emulsions used in modern semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
Drawing Compounds
PEG (Pharcos PEG) at high molecular weights provides boundary lubrication in wire drawing and metal forming operations. PEG 4000-6000 is preferred for its film strength.
Why Choose Pharcos for Lubricants?
Metalworking Specialization
Deep expertise in emulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors for soluble oils, semi-synthetic, and synthetic metalworking fluids.
Corrosion Protection
Amine ethoxylates and fatty acid ethoxylates that provide both emulsification and multi-metal corrosion protection.
Custom Blending
We develop custom surfactant packages optimized for specific metalworking operations and water quality conditions.
Common Questions
Questions about our lubricants solutions
For conventional soluble oils, Pharcos OA (Oleyl Amine Ethoxylates) at 5-10 moles provides excellent emulsification with built-in corrosion inhibition. For semi-synthetic systems, a combination of Pharcos S 20 and Pharcos CE 35 creates stable micro-emulsions. Our team can recommend specific blends for your operation.
