Chemal EM-500 is an excellent emulsifiers for mineral oil based systems. This product provides good blooming qualities which produce a highly stable oil in water emulsion.
Chemal EM-500 is a proprietary blend of natural alcohol ethoxylates. This product may be used for formulating soluble and semi-synthetic fluids for metalworking applications. Chemal EM-500 may be used for the emulsification of both paraffinic and naphthenic mineral oils. It is also useful as a co-emulsifier for canola and soybean oil formulations.
The product is a near colorless liquid which is highly oil soluble and water dispersible. Chemal EM-500 is free of phenol, sulfur, and phosphorus and is compatible with traditional metalworking additives including amines, TOFA, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, and defoamers. Good blooming attributes are readily achievable with this product which inherently produces a more stable emulsion. It may also be used with both soft and hard water sources.
Chemal EM-500 has an HLB of 9.2 and is sold in a 100% active form. Over time and under cold conditions, the product may haze and/or build viscosity, but this can be easily overcome with low heat and gentle agitation. Chemal EM-500 is lower in foam than many traditional emulsifiers and also provides additional lubricity based on a long carbon chain initiating alcohol.
