Focus Base PS 36

Focus Base PS 36 is a soluble oil emulsifier package, free of tall oil and its derivatives, that has been designed for use in both naphthenic and paraffinic oils. Focus Base PS 36 is formulated with a primary emulsion system consisting of both sodium sulfonate and succinic anhydride—which gives improved performance in hard water stability and good rust protection with cleanliness. Focus Base PS 36 also features high free alkalinity which boosts rust protection and increases bacterial control, and lower viscosity than competitive fluids making it easier to handle. Focus Base PS 36 does not contain chlorine, free sulfur, nitrites, phenols, or heavy metals—all while being free of tall oil and its derivatives. Focus Base PS 36 was formulated to perform well at low temperatures with special focus on the bloom properties of this fluid as well as freeze-thaw stability.
