Product Applications

Application:

Based on their physical and chemical characteristics, POLYGLYKOL B 01/40 is used for a wide variety of applications.

Fields of industrial application:

  • Base oil component for high performance lubricants with low friction coefficients, excellent wear properties, and good thermal stability.
  • Lubricant for refrigeration compressors.
  • Lubricating component of metalworking fluids.
  • Component of auxiliaries for leather and textile processing.
  • Component for defoamer formulations.
  • Reactive alcohol component in chemical reactions.
  • Solvent for dyes and inks.
  • Dispersant for pigments.

To increase the stability against thermo oxidative degradation, Lubricant Additive 1655 can be used.

Product Properties
  • POLYGLYKOL B 01/40 is a clear neutral, viscous liquid at room temperature. POLYGLYKOL B 01/40 is insoluble in water, but soluble in many polar organic solvents like acetone or methanol.
  • POLYGLYKOL B 01/40 can be dispersed much better in pure hydrocarbon solvents than the more hydrophilic B 11-type polyglycols. POLYGLYKOL B 01/40 displays a very low solidification point of –45°C and no evaporation loss even at temperatures as high as 100°C.
  • POLYGLYKOL B 01-types have a very low hygroscopy compared to other POLYGLYKOL -types.
