ADDMAX Boundary Layer Lubricant Additives represent a precise and tailored solution for manufacturers seeking to optimize their metalworking fluids performance. By forming and maintaining a protective boundary layer, these boundary layer additives offer enhanced tool life, improved workpiece quality, and increased energy efficiency. With their ability to excel under extreme pressure conditions, they are an indispensable component of water-based metalworking fluid formulations, ensuring consistent and efficient performance.

Key Features

• Advanced Boundary Layer Formation: These additives excel in forming and sustaining a robust boundary lubricating film at the critical interface between metal workpieces and cutting tools or machining surfaces. This film effectively separates and protects the surfaces from direct contact, significantly reducing friction and wear.
• Exceptional Friction Reduction: The precise chemical composition of these additives allows for ultra-low friction coefficients, optimizing the efficiency of machining operations. Reduced friction translates to lower energy consumption, longer tool life, and enhanced workpiece quality.
• Extreme Pressure (EP) Protection: Boundary Layer Additives are engineered to perform under high-pressure conditions, ensuring reliable lubrication even during demanding metalworking processes. This EP protection safeguards tools and workpieces from premature failure due to excessive loads.
• Heat Dissipation: By mitigating friction-induced heat, these additives contribute to a cooler machining environment. This not only preserves the integrity of the workpiece but also extends tool lifespan, minimizing operational downtime and replacement costs.
• Reducing Friction and Wear: During metalworking processes like cutting, drilling, and milling, high temperatures and pressures can lead to intense friction and wear between the cutting tool and the workpiece. ADDMAX Boundary layer lubricants help reduce this friction and wear by forming a thin protective film on the metal surfaces. This film acts as a barrier, preventing direct contact between the tool and the workpiece, which in turn extends tool life and improves surface finish.
• Surface Finish Enhancement: Boundary layer lubricants can contribute to achieving smoother and more precise surface finishes on machined parts. By reducing friction and preventing the occurrence of built-up edges and tool wear, they help maintain the integrity of the workpiece's surface.
• Anti-Weld Properties: Boundary layer lubricants can act as anti-weld additives, preventing the welding of metal chips or particles to the cutting tool or workpiece. This property helps maintain a clean cutting edge and prevents built-up edge formation.

Mist Control Agents

1)  Product –ADDMAX Mist Control Agents

We are manufacturing specialty mist control agents for all types of metal working fluids. Due to changing technologies, machining process & increase in cutting speed there is need of mist control agents. ADDMAX mist control agents stop the liquid to atomize into tiny droplets & to suspend in the air as a mist.

2) Benefits of ADDMAX Mist Control Agents

• Advance water soluble chemistry
• Neutral PH, allows formulator a wide scope
• Stable with all types of formulations
• Very low addition levels
• Easy to integrate in all types of formulations
• Very low levels of addition

Due to changing process technologies & operations speed mist formation is common at all shop floors. However   mist generation have both environmental and health implications. More than 90 % coolants are made up of mineral oils & to reduce   the cost most manufacturers use low cost oils.

Inhaling cutting fluid mists may pose health risks to workers in the machining environment. The mist can contain various components from the cutting oil, including additives, emulsifiers, and metal particles. Long-term exposure to these mists can lead to respiratory issues and skin irritations. The release of mists into the atmosphere can contribute to air pollution and affect the quality of indoor air in manufacturing facilities. We had designed high performance additives which help manufacturers to make absolute mist free products. Our mist control agents are suitable for soluble oils, semi synthetic oils & pure synthetic oils.  ADDMAX mist control agents easily incorporated in fluids very easily just by adding & mixing for few minutes.  Our mist control agents are water soluble products so easily get mixed. Our mist control agents do not alter the properties of soluble oil, semi synthetic or synthetic fluids. Our mist control agents also help in controlling the odours from the sump. In corporation of mist control agents help to make odour free cutting oils.

Stabilisers

1)  Product –ADDMAX Stabilisers

We are manufacturing stabilizers for soluble oils, semi synthetic oils & synthetic fluids.  These additives can be seamlessly integrated into existing formulations, allowing manufacturers to tailor their cutting fluids to specific needs

Our Stabilizers play a pivotal role in the performance of metalworking fluids (MWFs).  ADDMAX Stabilizers are meticulously formulated to address the unique challenges faced by MWFs, ensuring stability, longevity, and optimal functionality.

2) Benefits of ADDMAX Stabilisers

• Increases the stability of formulation  
• Increases the stability of dilution, improves sump life
• Control the foam formation
• Helps in particle reduction
• Improves the sump life
• Increases the rejection of tramp oil
• Maintains the PH levels

3) Product Overview

ADDMAX Stabilizers are expertly designed to maintain the stability of semi synthetic, oil soluble fluids emulsions, a common configuration in cutting fluids. Use of ADDMAX stabilisers creates more options to incorporate more additives with different chemistry & prevent the separation of oil from the water phase, even under harsh mechanical and thermal conditions.

Key Features

• Extended Fluid Life: ADDMAX Stabilizers enhance the stability of MWFs, significantly extending their useful lifespan. These results in reduced fluid replacement frequency, lower disposal costs, and enhanced operational efficiency.
• Freedom to Choose : Use of our stabilisers gives freedom to formulator for different high performance additives , use of ADDMAX stabilisers ensure tight bonding between phases & other additives
• Microbial Resistance: In metalworking environments, MWFs are susceptible to microbial contamination. Stabilizers often incorporate antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, preserving the integrity of the fluid and reducing the risk of health and environmental issues.
• PH Stabilization: The pH level of metalworking fluids can change over time due to the introduction of contaminants, coolant breakdown, and bacterial activity. ADDMAX include pH stabilizers that help maintain the desired pH range, which contributes to fluid stability and longevity.
• Anti-Oxidation Properties: Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can lead to the degradation of metalworking fluids. Stabilisers  contain antioxidants that inhibit oxidation, preserving the quality and effectiveness of the fluid.
• Cleanliness and Filtration: Contaminants such as metal fines, chips, and debris generated during machining can accumulate in the sump. Stabilisers include detergents or dispersants that help keep the fluid clean and promote effective filtration, thereby extending sump life.
• Reserve Alkalinity: In water-based metalworking fluids, the reserve alkalinity of the fluid can be depleted over time due to chemical reactions. Use of ADDMAX stabilisers   incorporate reserve alkalinity boosters to maintain the fluid's buffering capacity and stability.
