Huntsman is a major integrated supplier of amines,

many of which have application in the metalworking

industry. We have developed and continue to support

our amine process technologies in fully equipped

laboratories and pilot facilities in the United States

and Europe. This section demonstrates our ongoing

commitment to our amine customers in the

metalworking industry.

Included in Section 2 is information on various

amines commonly used in the metalworking industry.

The first part of this section contains comparison

data for these amines while the last part of this

section individually discusses several Huntsman

amines used in the metalworking industry. These

products include DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent, bis-

(hydroxyethyl) methyl amine (BHEMA), SURFON-

AMINE® MW-781 amine, triethanolamine (TEA),

diethanolamine (DEA), and others.

Comparison of Important Properties

A list of amines commonly used in metalworking is

given in Table 2.1, with Huntsman product offerings

highlighted. Table 2.2 further discusses commonly

used amines in metalworking, listing the CAS

numbers, as well as regulatory information.

Volatility is an important consideration in metalworking

applications where misting is a concern. Data

included in Table 2.3 and Figure 2.1 illustrate the low

volatility of Huntsman products, such as

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent, monoethanolamine (MEA),

DEA, TEA and BHEMA, relative to other amines

commonly used in metalworking applications.

Cobalt leaching is another important factor in

metalworking. A comparison of cobalt leaching by

commonly used metalworking amines is plotted in

Figure 2.2.

The pH measurements on solutions of various amines at

several different concentrations in water are given in Table

2.4. These data are indicative of the relative efficiency of

the amines as alkalinity control agents. Generally,

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is less alkaline than MEA and

MIPA. It is somewhat more alkaline than either DEA or

DIPA (diispropanolamine).

Titration curves are presented for several of the more

common metalworking amines with some of the more

common metalworking acids in Figures 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.

Boric acid is a well-known component of metalworking

fluids, which imparts both corrosion resistance and

enhanced biostability. Both salts and condensates of

boric acid with a variety of amines have been employed.

Data in the literature suggest that the boric acid adduct of

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is quite effective in maintaining

pH and resisting biodegradation (Table 2.5).

Published information (Table 2.6) comparing the tendency

to form N-nitrosoamines in prototype synthetic and semi-

synthetic cutting fluids shows a pronounced tendency to

form these carcinogenic materials from secondary amines

like DEA and diisopropanolamine (DIPA). Primary amines,

like DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent, do not show this tendency.

Another important aspect in metalworking is corrosion.

Aluminum staining/corrosion data is compared in Tables

2.7, 2.8, and 2.9. Figure 2.6 compares magnesium

staining by various amines.

Table 2.11 - DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent Toxicity Profile

Mammalian Toxicity

Oral LD50 2.56 g/kg in rats; considered slightly toxic by ingestion (1991).

Dermal LD50 Greater than 3.0 g/kg in rabbits; considered practically non-toxic by dermal absorption (1990).

Dermal Irritation Draize dermal irritation score in rabbits is 8.0 of 8.0; considered to be a dermal corrosive (1992).

Ocular Irritation Due to dermal corrosivity, an ocular irritation study is considered to be inappropriate and has not been performed. Draizeocular irritation score (rabbit) is estimated to be 50 to 80/100; considered to be severely irritating/corrosive to the eyes.

Dermal Sensitization Not a sensitizer in guinea pigs when induced and challenged at 105 using the Beuhler study protocol (1991).

Genetic Toxicity

Ames Assay Negative with and without metabolic activation in a plate incorporation assay, using concentrations up to 10,000 ug/plate inSalmonella tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538 (1982).

UDS Assay Negative at culture concentrations up to 1% in DMSO. This concentration was the maximum non-cytotoxic dosage under thetest protocol (1982).

Cell Transformation Test Negative at culture concentration up to 1563 nl/ml. This concentration was the maximum non-cytotoxic dosage under the testprotocol (1982).

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent

Data comparing the physical properties of DGA®

Agent and another commonly used metalworking

amine are given in Table 2.16. Both products are

relatively strong amines with about the same

equivalent weight. The boiling point, flash point, and

vapor pressure of DGA® Agent indicate DGA® Agent

is a less volatile amine. This could be an important

factor where misting and odor are concerns. Both

amines have similar toxicity profiles.

Because AMP is a slightly stronger amine than DGA®

Agent, it gives a directionally higher pH in solution

(Table 2.17). When these amines are used to provide

reserve alkalinity (buffering), we recommend the

inclusion of a weaker amine like TEA (Triethanolamine).

Reserve alkalinity is a function of the amount of amine

present. With strong amines, less amine is required to

reach a given pH target, hence reducing the amount

available for buffering. Inclusion of TEA will increase

the amount of amine present without appreciably

increasing the pH. The effect of blending TEA with

either DGA® Agent or AMP on pH and alkalinity of 5%

aqueous solutions is given in Table 2.17. The data

indicate AMP is a more basic amine giving a

directionally lower reserve alkalinity with TEA than

DGA® Agent with TEA.

The breakpoints obtained from iron chip corrosion tests

on borate salts of DGA® Agent and AMP are provided

in Table 2.18. DGA® Agent and AMP are seen to be

equivalent in their effect on corrosion of cast iron chips

as defined by the ASTM D4627 test.

The test solutions were made up of 1:1 amine/boric acid, at

1.5M concentration. This corresponds to 15.75 weight %

DGA® Agent, 13.35 weight % AMP, and 9.27 weight %

boric acid. The pH of all solutions was 10.1. The tests

were run according to ASTM D4627-92, utilizing 10

dilutions of the test solutions in calcium chloride water. A

second set of tests were also performed by making the

dilutions using calcium chloride water containing 10 times

the standard method concentration. There was no

observable effect on the breakpoints.

DGA® Agent and AMP have a similar cobalt leaching

profile, while DGA® Agent is better toward copper

(Table 2.19). Foam properties, as measured on 1%

solutions of the neodecanoic acid salts of both amines,

are essentially equivalent.

Electrochemical tests1 were performed to measure the

corrosion rate of aluminum and carbon steel in amine-

borate solutions. The corrosion rate of aluminum in the

presence of only the amine borates or amine borates

and KOH, used to adjust to a constant pH, was

moderate, in the range of 2.4 to 6.0 mpy. There was

essentially no difference among the three amines.

Corrosion of carbon steel was very low, at an average

of 0.05 mpy. The data are given in the table below. We

conclude on the basis of this testing there are no

difference in the corrosion protection for aluminum and

steel provided by the amine borates prepared from

DGA® Agent, DEA, and AMP.

General

The handling and storage of DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent

present no unusual problems. Huntsman Corporation’s

Technical Services team is available to assist those

persons desiring additional information.

Maintaining Specifications

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is hygroscopic and will

absorb water vapor when exposed to a moist

atmosphere. If water content is to be minimized, a dry

inert gas pad under a few ounces of pressure should be

used on the storage tanks. A gas pad should also be

used if low color is important, since absorbed

atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide will cause

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent to develop color. Since

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is basic, it will react with

acidic gases; hence carbon dioxide and natural gas

containing acidic sulfur compounds cannot be used.

Nitrogen is quite suitable.

The solvent properties and alkaline nature of

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent should also be considered

when installing handling and storage facilities.

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent may react with copper to

form complex salts. The use of copper and alloys

containing copper should be avoided in equipment that

will contact DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent or its aqueous

solutions. Carbon steel storage tanks constructed

according to a recognized code are generally

satisfactory. In cases where low color is important,

stainless steel is preferred.

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is not compatible with

phenolic resin linings. Steam coils with sufficient surface

area to heat the tank contents using low-pressure steam

should be built into the tank about six inches above the

floor. The coils should be constructed in such a manner

as to allow the condensate to drain. Stainless steel coils

are preferred, particularly when low color

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is important. If steam heat is

to be used continuously to prevent high viscosities or

freezing, a temperature regulator that throttles either the

steam or condensate should be installed.

In situations where the ambient temperature is low, tank

insulation is desirable. Asphalt-cork or urethane foam

insulation sprayed onto the outer wall is satisfactory. If

a nitrogen pad is used, pressure relief and vacuum relief

valves of a suitable capacity should be installed. The

system may consist of a cylinder of nitrogen, a pressure

reducing valve, a pressure relief valve, and a line to the

top of the storage tank. Tankage should be diked and

electrically bonded and grouped.

Transfer Lines

Carbon steel transfer lines at least two inches in diameter

and joined by welds or flanges are suitable. Screwed

joints are subject to failure unless back-welded because

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent will leach conventional pipe

dopes. U.S. Rubber 899 gasket material, polypropylene,

Teflon® elastomer, or their equivalents are satisfactory for

use with flanged connections in DIGLYCOLAMINE®

Agent service. Avoid the use of nitrile rubbers such as

neoprene, Buna-N or Viton® rubber.

If the ambient temperature is below 20°F, the transfer

line for the pure product should be steam traced and

insulated. Steam tracing can be accomplished by

affixing copper tubing of approximately 3/8-inch

Handling, Storage and Shipping of DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent

Amines for the Metalworking Industry

Page 26: Huntsman Metalworking Brochure - renumbered Library/a... · Amines for the Metalworking Industry 6 SECTION 2 Table 2.2 - Common Amine Components of Metalworking Fluid Formulations

diameter to the underside of the line, insulating the tube

to the line, and using low-pressure steam in the tubing.

For flexible connections, stainless steel hose is preferred

to rubber since rubber will generally deteriorate in

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent service and increase the

color of the product with time and temperature.

Systems that are insulated and steam traced should

be preheated in cool weather before being put into

service. Normally, 15 to 30 minutes of applying steam

to the tubing will adequately warm, but not overheat,

the system.

Transfer piping and pumps may be equipped with a

nitrogen padding system so the DIGLYCOLAMINE®

Agent can be pressured out of the lines when an

extended idle period is contemplated. This practice

will help losses and color increases that would result if

the DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent were allowed to remain

in the lines.

Shipping Information

Delivery of DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent can be made in

10,000 and 20,000-gallon tank cars. These cars are

constructed of welded carbon steel and have bottom-

unloading fittings and steam coils.

Deliveries can also be made in insulated, stainless steel,

full or compartmented tank wagons with steam coils. If

requested, tank wagons can be equipped with

unloading pumps and hoses.

Drums of DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent can be shipped in

truckload or less-than-truckload quantities. The net

weight of a drum is 480 pounds; the gross weight is

approximately 519 pounds per drum. Drums are

UN1A1 or UN1H1, nonreturnable.

Under U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and

Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG)

regulations, the proper shipping name for

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent is “2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol”,

identification number UN 3055. This product is considered

a corrosive material (TDG hazard class 8) and requires a

“CORROSIVE” label for shipping.

For further information, please refer to the Material

Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

The ethanolamines used for metalworking are MEA

(Monoethanolamine), DEA (Diethanolamine), and TEA

(Triethanolamine). DEA has been used for a number of

years in metalworking applications. MEA and TEA are

often used in combination with each other. MEA has a

high pH and TEA has a low pH.

Some other metalworking amines that can be used

include XTA-771, JEFFAMINE® D-2000

polyoxypropylenediamine, JEFFAMINE® D-230

polyoxypropylenediamine, JEFFAMINE® D-400

polyoxypropylenediamine, and JEFFAMINE® T-403

Surfactants for the Metalworking Industry

SECTION 3

The main area of application in metalworking fluids for

the SURFONIC N series surfactants is in the

emulsification of oils. Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs)

are highly effective materials for formulating soluble

oil, semisynthetic and metal cleaning compounds.

These surfactants have excellent emulsification

properties when used with naphthenic and paraffinic

oils. In general two or three ethoxylates of different

Hydrophile/Lipophile Balance (HLB) are blended in

order to get the best emulsification, especially when

formulating products for high hard water tolerance.

Higher HLB products will improve hard water

tolerance and hinder soft water tolerance.

Combinations of NPEs such as SURFONIC products

N-95 with N-40 or N-102 with N-60 are excellent

starting points for formulation work. The nonylphenol

ethoxylates tend to have lower foam and lower pour

points than the equivalent alkyl alcohol ethoxylates. The

SURFONIC N series products are biodegradable and

are compatible with sulfonates, fatty acid salts and

most other metalworking additives. To complete a

formulation, products such as an amide based on

DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent for corrosion control and

lubricity, PEG esters for lubricity, phosphate esters for

extreme pressure (EP) enhancement and amines for

alkalinity enhancement can be added.

Nonylphenol ethoxylates are also widely used in metal

cleaning compounds, where they act to scavenge

residual fluids, to enhance wetting and rinsing of parts,

and to disperse swarf left on parts. Formulations based

on NPEs can be used to clean parts from stamping and

forming operations where they help to disperse waxy

carriers left from the lubricant.

The wetting performance of the SURFONIC N series

products as a function of ethylene oxide (EO) content is

illustrated in Figures 3.1 and 3.2. The maximum wetting

performance of the water-soluble SURFONIC N series

products is seen with products containing 8.5 - 9.5

moles of EO per mole of nonylphenol. (Fig. 3.1)

Products containing 15 or more moles of EO are useful

as dispersants for graphite, metal cuttings and the like.

Many cleaning formulations use caustic additives to

help saponify fatty materials on the substrate. In

order to make NPEs soluble in potassium hydroxide

(KOH), for instance, a phosphate ester can be used.

Figure 3.2 shows the effectiveness of a phosphate

ester at solubilizing SURFONIC N-95 surfactant in

KOH solutions.

The physical and surfactant properties of the

SURFONIC N series products are shown in Table 3.1.

The SURFONIC OP series surfactants are ethoxylates of

octylphenol. The properties of octylphenol ethoxylates

(OPEs) are similar to those of nonylphenol ethoxylates

of similar HLB.

Three main application areas exist in metalworking for

OPEs: acid-based cleaners, emulsifiers for soluble oils,

and semisynthetic formulations. The SURFONIC OP

series products are stable in dilute hydrochloric and

phosphoric acids. This characteristic suggests usefulness

in acid cleaning, pickling and phosphating formulations.

Surfactants for the Metalworking Industry

The SURFONIC® LF and P product families are made

up of ethoxylated, propoxylated linear alcohols. The

choice of alcohol and the addition patterns for ethylene

oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) give the

alkoxylated products their unique properties.

The alcohol alkoxylates are ideally suited for

metalworking operations. They tend to have low foam

generation characteristics and some products can act

as defoamers in water-based systems. All of the

surfactants in this group will solubilize the components

of carboxylate-based corrosion inhibitors in water.

These surfactants are best suited to synthetic and

semisynthetic formulations. Several products such as

SURFONIC P1 surfactant are also used in soluble oil

formulations. SURFONIC LF-18 surfactant is useful in

low-foam semisynthetic cutting fluids.

SURFONIC P5 surfactant is used in some acid cleaners

and in rinse aid applications. Several of the SURFONIC

LF series products, particularly SURFONIC LF-37 and

LF-18 surfactants are useful as rinse aid and cleaning

actives in metal cleaning operations.

SURFONIC LF-18 surfactant is used in the production

of low-foaming, highly effective microemulsion cleaners

using d-Limonene as the solvent phase. Formulations of

this type can be used to remove a variety of

metalworking compounds from metal parts. The

formulations have very low foam and can be used in

spray applications.

The SURFONIC LF and P series products offer a boost

in lubricity, making them multifunctional in semisynthetic

and synthetic formulations. Falex wear data are offered

on a simple formulation containing several of these

products. When the formulation is changed to include a

phosphate ester (SURFONIC PE-2258 surfactant),

dramatically improved Falex wear performance is

observed. The synergy between the alkoxylated

nonionic surfactant and the anionic phosphate ester is

also observed with the SURFONIC POA block

copolymer surfactants. By careful selection of the

phosphate ester and the SURFONIC LF or P series

product, it is possible to get emulsification,

solubilization, lubricity, extreme pressure characteristics

and corrosion protection in one pair of surfactants. The

multifunctional nature of these products makes them

ideal candidates for many metalworking formulations.

SURFONIC® JL-80X surfactant is used in some metal

cleaning operations. The unique structure of this

product eliminates the gel phase common to alcohol

ethoxylates in aqueous solutions. This characteristic

allows the formulator to blend the surfactant into a

formulation without regard to any gelling problems.

The physical and surfactant properties of the

SURFONIC LF and P series products are shown in

Table 3.3.

A comparison of the dynamic surface tension

characteristics of the SURFONIC alcohol alkoxylates is

presented in Figure 3.3.

Surfactants for the Metalworking Industry

SECTION 3

The SURFONIC® POA block copolymers are very useful

in a variety of metalworking operations. These products

are made by the sequential addition of ethylene oxide

and propylene oxide. The functional attributes of these

products — defoaming, wetting, lubricity, solubilization,

emulsification, thickening and dispersion — all depend

on the ratio of ethylene oxide to propylene oxide, the

molecular weight of the product and the blocking

pattern of the molecule. Properties of the SURFONIC

POA products are given in Table 3.4.

Soluble Oils

Small amounts of low HLB products such as

SURFONIC POA-L101 and POA-L61 surfactants can

be used in soluble oils to promote solubilization of the

oil in the concentrate. Under actual use conditions,

these products can act as defoamers and can boost

lubricity, especially in the presence of a phosphate

ester. Higher HLB products will improve removal of the

soluble oil formulation from parts and equipment.

Semisynthetic Formulations

SURFONIC POA-25R2 surfactant is an excellent choice

for use in semisynthetic formulations. It will tend to

lower the foam of the system, promote good lubricity,

and help to solubilize naphthenic oil and carboxylate

corrosion inhibitors. If fine particles are present in the

system, POA-25R2 can form a weak association with

the particles and produce a thickening effect, which can

lead to reduced misting and “sling.”

In semisynthetic formulations, SURFONIC POA-L61 and

POA-L101 surfactants offer reduced foam and

improved lubricity. SURFONIC POA-L62 surfactant

helps with wetting of metal parts.

Synthetic Formulations

Synthetic formulations depend on products like the

SURFONIC POA block copolymers for low-foam

characteristics, enhanced solubilization of the corrosion

inhibitor salts, and a major part of the system lubricity.

The SURFONIC POA products have an inverse solubility

coefficient, which means that at some temperature,

known as the cloud point, the nonionic surfactant will

come out of solution and act as an oil. When the

temperature drops below the cloud point, the surfactant

becomes soluble again and redissolves into the water.

The lubricity offered by many nonionic surfactants is

partly due to the “oiling out” phenomenon. The

SURFONIC LF and P series products also show

lubricity effects above the cloud point. Careful selection

of SURFONIC POA surfactants for a particular

application can give formulations with low foam, high

lubricity and high stability.

Forming Lubricants

In many forming operations it is possible to replace an

oil-based lubricant with a simple synthetic formulation.

This formulation might contain a SURFONIC POA

copolymer, a phosphate ester for extreme pressure

activity and corrosion protection, and water. This type of

formulation offers several advantages: the number of

parts that can be formed between die service is

increased, the parts have better surface finish and the

formed parts are easier to clean. Many metalworking

operations using oil-based fluids can benefit from

substitution with water-based synthetic formulations

using the SURFONIC POA series of materials.

The SURFONIC® L series linear alcohol ethoxylates are

biodegradable, nonionic surfactants produced by the

addition of ethylene oxide to linear, primary alcohols.

Their physical appearance at room temperature varies

from clear liquids to white waxy solids, depending on the

alcohol used and the degree of ethoxylation. The

Huntsman line of linear alcohol ethoxylates is made from

alcohols containing only even carbon numbers in the

alkyl groups; the structure of these alcohols closely

matches that of alcohols from natural sources.

Ethoxylates are made from a blend of the alcohol

homologues. It is possible to deduce the product

composition from the product name; for instance,

SURFONIC L24-3 surfactant is a blend of C12, C14 and

C16 linear alcohols reacted with three moles of ethylene

oxide. Properties of the SURFONIC L series products are

listed in Table 3.5.

The SURFONIC L series linear alcohol ethoxylates are

widely used as emulsifiers, cleaners, penetrants and

wetting agents in metalworking formulations. Appropriate

selection of the alcohol chain length and degree of

ethoxylation can provide the surfactant properties

required for a particular application.

Products with a short alcohol chain and low degree of

ethoxylation, such as SURFONIC L12-3 surfactant, are

good solubilization agents. In microemulsion cleaners and

semisynthetic cutting fluids, they help to dissolve or

“couple” oily materials into the water-based formulation.

In some applications they can serve the same function as

a glycol ether with the added advantage of having low

vapor pressure. In metal cleaning operations, low-mole

alcohol ethoxylates are often blended with higher-mole

ethoxylates to give a formulated product with enhanced

oil removal, dispersant and emulsification properties.

Alcohol ethoxylates with 10-12 or 12-14 carbons and

about 6 EO units are prime cleaning agents for

metalworking operations. Products in this range, like

SURFONIC L12-6 surfactant, have the fastest surface

dynamics; their nature allows them to migrate to and

stabilize new surfaces quickly. This property is illustrated

by the dynamic surface tension measurement (Figure

3.4).

Alcohol ethoxylates with 12-14 carbons and 7-12 moles

of EO are used in soluble oil and semisynthetic cutting

fluids, particularly in paraffinic systems. Typically two

alcohol ethoxylates are used in a formulation to give a

wide range of good emulsification performance. Certain

pairs of surfactants compliment each other well in

emulsification applications. A blend of SURFONIC L24-

9 and SURFONIC L24-4 surfactants in a 1:2 ratio is

often an optimal system. Higher EO products like

SURFONIC L24-22 surfactant can be used to improve

the hard water tolerance of a formulation and can

improve the dispersibility of graphite or other particles in

a metal cleaning formulation.

At certain water/surfactant ratios, approximately in the

30-70% surfactant range, the alcohol ethoxylates

exhibit a gel phase. In this range, an aqueous surfactant

system will be a gel at room temperature but will

become an isotropic solution at temperatures above the

gel temperature. Glycol ethers, ethanolamines and

some anionic materials can be added to the system to

reduce the gel phase.

When formulating with alcohol ethoxylates, one can

avoid extended mixing times by selecting an

appropriate order of addition (add surfactant to water)

and by using heat during blending.

Surfactants for the Metalworking Industry

The SURFONIC® E series fatty acid ethoxylates and the

SURFONIC CO® series castor oil ethoxylates produced

by Huntsman are important groups of products in the

formulation of metalworking lubricants.

The SURFONIC CO series castor oil ethoxylates are

excellent emulsifiers for many oils used in metalworking.

The large size of the castor oil hydrophobe helps the

ethoxylated castor oil stay partially in the oil phase even

when highly ethoxylated or used in formulations with high

water/oil ratios. The castor oil ethoxylates are generally

low foaming.

Typically, PEG esters offer lower staining potential on

aluminum than straight fatty acids. The PEG esters

(especially the dioleates) generally are soluble in the

kerosene-type cuts used in traditional cold rolling

lubricants. The PEG esters are also stable in the fatty

alcohol products used in the same application. Excellent

aluminum rolling oils can be produced using blends of

PEG diesters, castor oil ethoxylates, fatty alcohols such

as SURFOL® 1416 alcohol and phosphate esters like

SURFONIC PE-2258 surfactant with alkanolamines such

as DIGLYCOLAMINE® Agent.

Properties of the SURFONIC E series PEG ester and the

SURFONIC CO series castor oil ethoxylates are shown in

Table 3.6.

Phosphate esters provide extreme pressure properties

to water-based and semisynthetic formulations.

Additionally they provide lubricity and emulsification of

other actives in metalworking formulations and they

solubilize nonionic surfactants into caustic- or silicate-

containing metal cleaning formulations. Many of the

phosphate esters also offer some cleaning activity in

metal cleaning operations. The phosphate esters in the

SURFONIC® PE product family also provide corrosion

resistance in many formulations.

Properties of the SURFONIC PE series products are

given in Table 3.7.

SURFONIC PE-2258 phosphate ester gives excellent

extreme pressure (EP) performance. Micrographs

showing actual Falex pin-and-vee blocks from several EP

tests are presented in Figures 3.5a and 3.5b.

SURFONIC PE-1218 phosphate ester is able to solubilize

nonionic surfactants in high electrolyte solutions such as

those containing sodium silicate; this is particularly useful

in cleaner formulations where the silicate is added to

increase alkalinity and to provide corrosion inhibition.

Huntsman produces a number of other chemicals

useful in the metalworking industry, from chemical

intermediates to functional fluids to various glycols.

Linear Alkylbenzene Highboiler for Sulfonation Feedstock – Alkylate H-230L

Alkylate H-230L, a synthetic sulfonation feedstock widely

used in the metalworking industry to augment natural

sodium petroleum sulfonate, is produced by the

alkylation of benzene with olefins using an HF-catalyzed

process. The product is a blend of alkyl tetralins, dialkyl

benzenes, and alkyl naphthalenes and diphenyl alkanes.

The carbon number distribution peaks at C23.

The structures for the important constituents of this

product are shown in Figure 4.1. The typical carbon

distribution of the dialkylbenzenes, tetralins, and

diphenylalkanes is shown in Table 4.1; structures are

illustrated in Figure 4.2.

The actual level of each chemical species depends on

the alkylation feedstock. The average molecular weight of

Alkylate H-230L varies from 315-320, giving average

sulfonic acid molecular weights of 413-418 g/mole.

Sulfonation can be accomplished using air/SO3 or oleum.

The actual reaction conditions will vary according to the

desired product and process used for sulfonation.

JEFFOX® WL Series Functional Fluids

The JEFFOX® functional fluids are alkoxylates of mono-,

di- or tri-functional starting materials. These versatile

fluids have varying degrees of solubility in water and oil.

As lubricants, the fluids possess many desirable

properties of natural lubricants and have distinctive

properties of their own which recommend their use in

difficult applications such as metalworking fluids and

machine lubricants. The JEFFOX fluids have good

lubricating ability, even under high pressure, and high

viscosity indexes, which enable them to be used over a

wide range of temperatures.

In metalworking applications, the fluids permit high

production rates, excellent finishes and longer tool life.

Water-soluble fluids are especially convenient because

they may be washed from the work piece with cool water

to permit finishing operations.

The higher molecular weight JEFFOX WL fluids exhibit

inverse solubility behavior with respect to temperature.

This property can be used advantageously in water-based

metalworking fluids. When the water-based fluid comes

in contact with the hot tool and work piece, the lubricant

drops out of the solution and coats the metal surface.

This behavior takes full advantage of the cooling capability

of water and the excellent lubricity of the base fluid.

Because the JEFFOX fluids are transparent liquids, they

allow delicate operations on small metal pieces to be

observed easily.

Typical applications include:

• steel deep drawing

• tempered spring steel pressing

• nickel-plated steel drawing

• copper drawing

The fluids can also act as carriers for diamond powder

cutting or polishing agents.

Properties of the JEFFOX functional fluids are listed in

Table 4.2.

Polyethylene Glycols -- POGOL® Series PEGs

Huntsman manufactures a number of polyethylene

glycol products. The POGOL product family has

numerous uses in metalworking and allied industries.

The largest use of the POGOL products is the

manufacture of PEG esters; through reaction of

polyethylene glycol with fatty acids such as lauric, oleic,

tall oil, castor and soya fatty acids, very useful lubricants

can be produced.

Typically the reaction is carried out between 140°C and

250°C with a nitrogen purge. Catalysts are not

necessary but they do substantially increase the

reaction rate. For the lightest color products, non-

catalytic procedures are used. Color inhibitors can be

added to the product to give yet lighter products.

Typical catalysts, such as pTSA, methane sulfonic acid

and tin-based catalysts can be used or sodium bisulfite

can also be used. Typical levels of catalyst are from

0.1% to 1% of the raw materials.

The POGOL polyethylene glycols are also useful

additives in hydraulic fluids where they offer suitable

lubricity and compatibility and can be conveniently

formulated with phosphate esters for extreme pressure

(EP) properties. The products act as thickening agents

and can be used for viscosity control.

POGOL 200 polyethylene glycol can be used as a

dispersant and carrier in the production of silicon

carbide slurries by attrition grinding. Typically a 35%

aqueous suspension can be produced, stabilized by

about 3% of POGOL 200 glycol.

POGOL products can also be used in the machining of

silicon wafers or for other semiconductor uses. Lapping

compounds to polish metal or semiconductor surfaces

are produced using POGOL polyethylene glycols; the

polyethylene glycol products help to disperse the

lapping abrasive. The high water solubility of the

POGOL products makes it easy to rinse the polished

substrate cleanly.

Some POGOL products are used as carrier solvents for

release agents in aluminum die cast operations.

Characteristics and properties of the POGOL®

polyethylene glycols are shown in Table 4.3.
