K-OX™ W75 LIGHT

Chemical Family
Hydrocarbons

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.
