Results for tag: "Metalworking Fluids"

Metalworking fluids are lubricants and greases used in metalworking processes such as machining, grinding, and forming. They are designed to reduce friction, cool the workpiece, and remove metal chips from the work area. Metalworking fluids are typically composed of a base oil, emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, and other additives. The base oil can be mineral, synthetic, or vegetable-based. The emulsifiers help to keep the oil and water components of the fluid from separating. Corrosion inhibitors protect the workpiece from oxidation and rust. Other additives may be used to improve the performance of the fluid. Metalworking fluids are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. They are also used in the production of consumer goods such as furniture and appliances. Companies in the metalworking fluids market include ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, Total, BP, Fuchs, Quaker Chemical, Houghton International, and Henkel. Show Less Read more
