Metalworking Fluids Solutions from ANGUS Chemical Company
Buffalo Grove, IL - May 07, 2006 ANGUS offers a line of specialty additives that enhance metalworking fluid performance and serve as building blocks for long-life fluids. The following products provide a cost-effective way to formulate fluids meeting increasingly stringent performance requirements. NEW – CORRGUARD™ SI corrosion inhibitor is a unique, patent-pending multifunctional stain inhibitor which protects aluminum alloys and galvanized steel in contact with water-based metalworking fluids. Effective at concentrations as low as 0.1% (working dilution), CORRGUARD SI is free of silicates and phosphorus, and is suitable for long-life bioresistant formulations. It also has a favorable safety/environmental profile and is easily waste treated. AEPD-85™ is an excellent primary amino alcohol, designed for use in all water-dilutable fluids. AEPD-85 exhibits intermediate base strength, has low volatility, and is an excellent choice for directly replacing diethanolamine (DEA). AEPD-85 offers the metalworking fluid formulator and end-user the following key benefits: efficient pH development, enhanced reserve alkalinity, improved ferrous corrosion protection, efficient neutralization of acidic components, enhanced performance of triazine biocides, effective formaldehyde control, and low foaming. CORRGUARD™-95 corrosion inhibitor is based on AMP™ (2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol), a multifunctional additive designed exclusively for use in all water-dilutable metalworking fluids. CORRGUARD-95, a high performance alkanolamine, is a highly efficient neutralizer and alkalinity enhancer which also provides corrosion inhibition properties. CORRGUARD-95 resists microbial degradation, and leaches minimal cobalt during manufacturing of carbide tools. CORRGUARD-95 enhances the performance of triazine biocides, while reducing levels of airborne formaldehyde. CORRGUARD-95 does not contribute to ammonia release, as do other amines. Aligned as a market-focused, solutions-driven specialty chemicals business, ANGUS is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. ANGUS develops and delivers solutions based on nitroalkane and derivative chemistry for applications in metalworking fluids, latex paints, mineral slurries, water treatment, biological buffers, solvents and thinners, wood adhesives, pharmaceutical & agricultural intermediates, SBR latex shortstops, fuel additives and personal care and household products. Dow is a diversified chemical company that harnesses the power of science and technology to improve living daily.
