Extreme Pressure (EP) Additives
Extreme Pressure (EP) additives are essential components in the formulation of neat and water-miscible metalworking fluids. Their primary function is to reduce the friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece. The ability to enhance the extreme pressure lubricity enable these additives to extend cutting tool life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the productivity of the machining process.
EP additives provided by Lankem can help provide increased extreme pressure lubricity of metalworking fluids.
These products are based on phosphate esters:

-
Lanphos PE74 is a highly effective extreme pressure additive using the formulation of soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids. In addition to excellent lubrication, it also provides exceptional emulsification and beneficial corrosion inhibition. These characteristics are provided in combination with a low foaming profile.
-
Lanphos PE35 is a successful extreme pressure additive using the formulation of soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids. In addition to lubrication, it also provides effective emulsification and beneficial corrosion inhibition.
-
Lanphos TEP4 is a successful extreme pressure additive for use in the formulation of synthetic metalworking fluids. In addition to excellent lubrication, it also provides beneficial corrosion inhibition characteristics in combination with a low foaming profile.
