Metalworking Lubricants
Blown (Oxidized) Soybean Oil
For alkyd resins, coatings and printing inks. Also a fixative for essential oils in insect repellents and a binder for aggregates and composites.
Used in: Alkyd resins, paints and coatings, printing inks, industrial and metalworking lubricants, binder for aggregates, dust control
Blown (Oxidized) Rapeseed Oil
A polar oil with strong pigment wetting and lubricity. Its affinity for water makes it a good additive for marine lubricants, and because it is non-drying it suits ribbon inks.
Used in: Marine lubricants, metalworking fluids, drawing and non-ferrous metal processing, release agents, emulsifiable oils, plasticizers, ribbon inks, pigments, paints and enamels
PEG 200 Adipate
Used in: Lubricant additive for water-based systems, industrial and metalworking lubricants
PEG 400 Adipate
Used in: Plasticizers, solubilizers, metalworking lubricants
Smithol 22LD
Exceptional metal and fiber wetting. Clings to hot metal, displaces water and breaks emulsions, with a low pour point. Replaces rapeseed oil in drawing, stamping, rolling and forging lubricants.
Used in: Drawing, stamping, rolling, forging and wire drawing lubricants, rust preventatives, de-emulsifiers, stripping oil from waste water, textile spin finishes, leather treating
Smithol 50B3
Good lubricity with a low acid value and a stable cloud point.
Used in: Industrial lubricant additives, metalworking lubricants, cutting oils, greases, leather treatments
Smithol 55
Water-attractive. Produces fine-particle emulsions with good metal wetting.
Used in: Synthetic lubricants, drawing and rolling compounds for non-ferrous metals
Smithol 76
Sulfurizes well, with good solvency and good oxidation stability.
Used in: Industrial and metalworking lubricants, rust inhibitors
Smithol 774
For heavy-duty lubrication. Promotes anti-seize properties in metalworking lubricants, and has a high flash point.
Used in: Industrial and metalworking lubricants, rust prevention
Smithol 76-1000
Developed to replace blown sperm oil. Excellent solvency in petroleum stocks, and promotes anti-seize properties.
Used in: Metalworking lubricants, metal stamping, deep drawing and bottle tube drawing, rust inhibitors
Smithol 300M
A semi-drying, lower-viscosity fish oil.
Used in: Metalworking lubricants, metal stamping, rust-preventative coatings
R60Z5
Performs much like S60Z5. Wets hot metal readily and acts as a scavenger in mixtures containing chlorinated paraffin. Small additions to naphthenic oils give long-term outdoor storage protection.
Used in: Marine lubricants (water absorption medium), metalworking oils, long-term outdoor rust preventives
Smithol CDR-G
A domestic replacement for crude degras with a mild, stable waxy odor. Strong polar attraction to metal, and forms invert emulsions much like natural degras.
Used in: Metalworking compounds, industrial lubricants, leather treating
S60L-P
Semi-drying.
Used in: Metalworking lubricants, glazing putties, caulking compounds, sealants, marine lubricants, rust-preventative compounds, plasticizers, surfactants
