Lubricants water-based

High Water-Base Fluids. These water-base fluids have very high fire resistance because as Httle as 5% of the fluid is combustible. Water alone, however, lacks several important quaUties as a hydrauHc fluid. The viscosity is so low that it has Httle value as a sealing fluid water has Httle or no abiHty to prevent wear or reduce friction under boundary-lubrication conditions and water cannot prevent mst. These shortcomings can be alleviated in part by use of suitable additives. Several types of high water-based fluids commercially available are soluble oils, ie, od-in-water emulsions microemulsions tme water solutions, called synthetics and thickened microemulsions. These last have viscosity and performance characteristics similar to other types of hydrauHc fluids. 

Poly(alkylene glycol)s are also used as lubricity additives ia water-based synthetic cutting and grinding fluids (36), and ia aqueous metalworking fluids. Under the high frictional heating at the tool or die contact with the workpiece, the polyalkylene glycol comes out of solution ia fine droplets which coat the hot metal surfaces. 

Mixtures containing sulfated castor oil were used to increase the lubricity of water base drilling fluids (123). Sulfated castor oil is also used in dishwashing compounds as a hand softener. A typical cleaning composition contains sodium dodecylben2ene sulfonate, sulfated castor oil, ethanol, and water. A sulfated derivative of castor oil is used as a dispersant for plaster of Paris, reducing the water needed to form a plastic slurry (124). Pesticide emulsions can be stabilized using ethoxylated castor oil (125). 

In a fully synthetic FR fluid, the fire resistance is due to the chemical nature of the fluid in the others, it is afforded by the presence of water. The other main distinction between the two groups is that the fully synthetic fluids are generally better lubricants and are available for use at operating temperatures up to 150°C (272°F), but are less likely to be compatible with the conventional sealing materials and paints than are water-based products. 

Tramp oil is caused when heat slideway, gear, hydraulic and spindle lubricants leak into water-based cutting fluids and can cause problems such as ... 

All these problems directly affect production efficiency. Recent developments have led to the introduction of synthetic lubricants that are fully compatible with all types of water-based cutting fluids, so helping the user to achieve maximum machine output. 

However, its cooling properties can be utilized when other materials are added to improve machining performance. One of the most common water-based cutting fluids is the so-called soluble oil, which, in fact, is not a true solution but an oiTin-water emulsion in which very fine droplets of oil are suspended in water. Such a fluid has very effective cooling power and the petroleum oil and its additives provide its lubricating and protective properties. 

Two factors militate against the universal use of water-based fluids. Very severe machining operations call for a lubrication performance that is beyond the capacity of such fluids, and the design of some machine tools means that water cannot be used because of the risk of cross-contamination with machine lubricants. In these instances, neat cutting oil is the only fluid that can provide the required performance. 

The presence of fungi and bacteria in water-base or water-contaminated lubricants such as machining fluids and marine diesel crank case lubricants may promote corrosion, but have not been shown to be harmful to man . ... 

It is used as a water-based lubricant for fasteners, such as nuts and bolts. 

METALWORKING FLUID Eluid applied to a tool and workpiece to cool, lubricate, carry away particles of waste and provide corrosion protection. Generally comprising neat mineral oils, or water-based materials, or a mixture of the two. Eluids may also contain emulsifiers, stabilizers, biocides, corrosion inhibitors, fragrances and extreme pressure additives. 

Such a composition reduces friction, permeates drilling mud wall cake, destroys binding wall cake, and reduces differential pressure. Unfortunately, many of such compositions are toxic to marine life. Synthetic PAOs are nontoxic and effective in marine environments when used as lubricants, retum-of-permeabiUty enhancers, or spotting fluid additives for water-based drilling muds. A continuing need exists for other nontoxic additives for water-based drilling muds, which serve as lubricants, retum-of-permeability enhancers, and spotting fluids.

Dyspareunia may result from vaginal dryness. Water-based lubricants may provide relief for several hours after application. Moisturizers may provide relief for a longer period of time and potentially can prevent infections by maintaining the acidic environment in the vagina. Both these treatments require frequent application. 

Oleaginous bases consist of vegetable oil thickened with agents such as aluminum monostearate, colloidal silica, and xanthan gums. The lubricant properties of the oil make these formulations less adhesive than water bases. 

The extrusion process requires the use of a lubricant to prevent adhesion of the aluminum to the die and ingot container walls. In hot extrusion, limited amounts of lubricant are applied to the ram and die face or to the billet ends. For cold extrusion, the container walls, billet surfaces, and die orifice must be lubricated with a thin film of viscous or solid lubricant. The lubricant most commonly used in extrusion is graphite in an oil or water base. A less common technique, spraying liquid nitrogen on the billet prior to extrusion, is also used. The nitrogen vaporizes during the extrusion process and acts as a lubricant. 

Surfactants that form micelles have also been shown to accelerate the formation of nitrosamlnes from amines and nitrite (33.) A rate enhancement of up to 80 0-fold was observed for the nitrosation of dihexylamine by nitrite in the presence of the cationic surfactant decyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) at pH 3.5. A critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.08% of DTAB was required to cause this effect, which was attributed to a micelle with the hydrocarbon chains buried in the interior of the micelle. The positively-charged ends of the micelle would then cause an aggregation of free nitrosatable amine relative to protonated amine and thus lead to rate enhancements. Since surfactants are commonly used in water-based fluids (25-50% lubricating agent or 10-2 0% emulsifier in concentrates), concentrations above the CMC of a micelle-forming surfactant could enhance the formation of nitrosamines. 

Examples of such effects are the SubChem cases for the substitution of DEHP as a plasticiser in PVC by other phthalates (instead of switching over to underbody hard shells), optimisation of formulations in water-soluble cooling lubricants (instead of switching over to minimum quantity lubrication) or the use of water-based flexographic inks (instead of switching over to UV-drying printing inks). 

This hypothesis can be illustrated, for example, on cooling lubricant emulsions as well as water-based coating and cleaning agent systems.
