AKYPO
AKYPO® products are essential additives for long-lifetime metalworking fluids. They are characterized by their outstanding hard water and electrolyte tolerance compared to other emulsifiers used in metalworking.
The strength of long alkyl chain AKYPO®, like AKYPO® RO, AKYPO®;PO-EO, AKYPO® RA, is its extraordinary lime and metal soap dispersion power. This makes it possible to stabilize metalworking fluids under the extreme water conditions typically present in metalworking. Such common primary emulsifiers as fatty acids and sulfonates form soaps and insoluble agglomerates in combination with high loads of metal salts (calcium, magnesium, aluminium and sodium) resulting from natural water hardness and water treatment as well as the severe conditions characteristic of metalworking. The dispersion of soaps with AKYPO® prevents drag out of lubricity components and preserves the cleanliness and stability of fluids, resulting in less maintenance.
