Focus Ester PA 125

Focus Ester PA 125 is a unique synthetic polymerized ester designed to boost performance and enhance finish in severe metalworking applications. Focus Ester PA 125 is oil-soluble but can be used to make high performance soluble oil and semi-synthetic machining coolants, as well as drawing and stamping fluids. Focus Ester PA 125 has molecular weight that gives it a perfect structure to replace chlorinated paraffins. It is a branched-chain fatty acid, which offers the highest level of thermal and hydrolytic properties. Also, it is expected to be less susceptible to bacterial attack than conventional fatty esters. In addition to replacing chlorine, Focus Ester PA 125 can be used to replace or reduce treat levels of all boundary and EP additives, like phosphorous, sulfur, lard oil, blown oil and other fatty friction modifiers.

Product Applications

Focus Ester PA 125 is formulated into emulsion systems like soluble oils, semi-synthetic, drawing and stamping and other water-dilutable fluids to provide exceptional lubricity. Treatment levels of 1% to 15% into the concentrate are suggested. Focus Ester PA 125 can be used in straight cutting oil and industrial lubricant oil applications in combination with or without low amounts of active sulfur and phosphorus, depending upon the severity of the operation. Focus Ester PA 125 can replace or reduce the amount of chlorine, sulfur, blown oil, lard oil and other fatty friction modifiers.
