Introduction


In mechanical processing, choosing the right cutting fluid is essential for extending the lifespan of metalworking tools and ensuring high machine efficiency. 

The market offers a variety of fully synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids, yet some may not provide the desired lubrication effect. As a cutting fluid manufacturer, enhancing lubrication effectiveness can be challenging. 

However, this blog will introduce solutions to these issues.

Cutting Fluid


Highlighting Ruqinba's Top Lubricant Additives


We're showcasing three top lubricant products from Ruqinba, designed to significantly improve your cutting fluid's lubrication properties.


Self-Emulsifying Ester RQB-1612C


A modified vegetable oil product, suitable for both fully synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids, 1612C ensures low foam and high lubrication. 

Self-Emulsifying Ester 1612C

Its non-corrosive nature makes it ideal for non-ferrous metals, especially aluminum-magnesium alloys.

Key features for aluminum and non-ferrous metal processing industries include excellent interface lubrication, rust prevention, and cleaning effects. 

This additive reduces tool adhesion, enhances product finish, and minimizes tool wear. It also boasts strong resistance to hard water.


Appearance Yellow transparent liquid
Specific Gravity (25℃) 0.998
Kinematic Viscosity 40 (mm²/s) 450
Acid Value (mg·KOH/g) 53
Threading Torque Value (Ncm) 160
Hard Water Resistance (ppm) 500
HLB Value 10-11


Polyether Lipid RQB-1516

Polyether Lipid RQB-1516

A synthetic lubricant derived from polyacid and polyhydroxy polyether, 1516 excels in cleaning, wetting, and lubrication. 

It is low-foaming, compatible with cationic settling agents, and offers superb resistance to oil and antibacterial properties. 

Its hard water stability surpasses similar products.



Appearance Amber or reddish-brown transparent liquid
Specific Gravity (25℃) 1.048±0.05
Kinematic Viscosity 40 (mm²/s) 2500-3500
Acid Value (mg·KOH/g) 60±10
Threading Torque Value (Ncm) 180
Hard Water Resistance (ppm) 2000


Polymer Lipid RQB-1425

Polymer Lipid RQB-1425

Ideal for water-based processing, 1425 is easy to emulsify, offers effective dispersion, and is highly compatible with base oils. 


It provides strong extreme pressure lubrication and forms a uniform film.


This environmentally friendly and non-toxic additive is biodegradable and can replace chlorinated paraffin. 


It enhances lubrication in cutting fluids and aids in emulsion stability. 


Combined with Self-Emulsifying Ester, it can produce cutting fluids with superior lubrication properties, improving rust prevention, corrosion inhibition, and extreme pressure lubrication.




Appearance Light yellow turbid liquid
Specific Gravity (25℃) 1.0002
Kinematic Viscosity 40 (mm²/s) 3200-3800
Acid Value (mg·KOH/g) 25-35





Conclusion



These additives not only improve lubrication and protection for metalworking tools but also offer environmental benefits and cost-effectiveness. 

By choosing the right combination of these additives, manufacturers can achieve superior cutting fluid formulations, meeting the demanding needs of modern metal processing industries. 

Embrace these game-changing solutions and experience a notable difference in your cutting fluid's effectiveness.
