Amines for the Metalworking Industry


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), SURFONAMINE MW-781 amine, triethanolamine (TEA), diethanolamine (DEA), and others. 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 semisynthetic 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.

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

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 amineborate 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.

Handling, Storage and Shipping of DIGLYCOLAMINE Agent General
The handling and storage of DIGLYCOLAMINE Agent present no unusual problems. Huntsman Corporations Technical Services team is available to assist those persons desiring additional information. 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.

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

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 20F, 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

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. constructed of welded carbon steel and have bottomunloading 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).

Surfactants for the Metalworking Industry


Alkylphenol Ethoxylates Nonylphenol Ethoxylates SURFONIC N Series Surfactants
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.

Octylphenol Ethoxylates SURFONIC OP Series Surfactants
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. The physical and surfactant properties of the SURFONIC OP series products are shown in Table 3.2.

Alcohol Alkoxylates SURFONIC LF, P and JL Series Surfactants
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.

EO/PO Block Copolymers SURFONIC POA Series Surfactants
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Linear Alcohol Ethoxylates SURFONIC L Series Surfactants
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 L249 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.

Fatty Acid Ethoxylates SURFONIC E Series Surfactants Castor Oil Ethoxylates SURFONIC CO Series Surfactants
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.

Surfactants for the Metalworking Industry


Phosphate Esters SURFONIC PE Series Surfactants
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 silicatecontaining 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.

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 140C and 250C with a nitrogen purge. Catalysts are not necessary but they do substantially increase the reaction rate. For the lightest color products, noncatalytic 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.
