K-OX™ W15L

1 of 12 products in this brand
K-Ox™ W15L and W75L are synthetic fatty acids made from petroleum hydrocarbons. K-Ox™ W15L and W75L may be used as a total or partial replacement for natural fats, oils, or fatty acid in the formulation of cutting, drawing, spinning, and rolling oils. They are not subject to bacterial degradation as are the natural fats. The esters derived from K-Ox™ W15L and W75L offer excellent lubricity and wetting characteristics to metalworking formulations. The higher acid number of K-Ox™ W75L offers more reactive sites for effective conversion to a variety soaps and esters.

Applications

K-Ox™ W15L and W75L are rust preventive intermediates that are typically converted to metallic soaps or esters. The metallic soaps of K-Ox™ W15L and W75L offer excellent resistance to humidity and salt spray while the esters contribute good lubricity and water displacing/dispersing characteristics. K-Ox™ W15L and W75L may be used alone as a wetting agent or as a complete or partial replacement for natural fats (animals or vegetable) used in steam cylinder lubricants; and in the formulations of drawing, cutting, or rolling oils. K-Ox™
W15L or W75L can also be used as a corrosion inhibitor in grease at 2% concentrations and are best added to the grease during the cooling stage.
