Lubricit SML-LV

LUBRICIT SML-LV is sorbitan monolaurate, used as a 100% bioderived emulsifier and lubricity additive for environmentally friendly metalworking fluids. It can be used to create stable oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions. This well known non-ionic surfactant is also used as a dispersant and wetting agent in food, personal care and health care products. The LV version is specially manufactured to have a lower viscosity for improved handling and blending.

Product Highlights

Sorbitan esters are 100% naturally derived from sorbitan and fatty acids, making them readily biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Sorbitan is derived from sugar, and can be esterified with one, two or three fatty acids to form oil soluble compounds. The fatty acids are derived from select natural fats and seed oils to provide the desired physical and performance properties.

LUBRICIT sorbitan esters are industrial grade additives used as emulsifiers and lubricity additives in metalworking and textile lubricant applications. They are also widely used as surfactants for industrial cleaners and degreasers. Select sorbitan esters are water-in-oil emulsifiers and stabilizers finding use in pharmaceutical, personal care and cosmetic applications.
