Industrial Lubricants
Blown (Oxidized) Menhaden Fish Oil
Increases flow, leveling and gloss in paint systems, with good drying properties. Highly soluble in mineral spirits.
Used in: Paints, caulks, putties, mastics, rust-preventing compounds, marine and industrial lubricants, surfactants, plasticizers, ceramic tape casting
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
Hydrogenated Tallow Glycerides 145M
Saponified, it thickens or gels petroleum oils in greases where you want glycerine in the finished grease.
Used in: Lubricating greases, textile sizes and softeners, wire drawing, wax compounds, buffing and polishing compounds, candles, wire insulation, terne plate, mono- and diglyceride production
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 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
