Water-Based Series

Water‑Based Metalworking Additives are water‑soluble processing‑fluid additives manufactured by Fanschem. Comprising corrosion inhibitors, extreme‑pressure anti‑wear agents, lubricating boosters, biocides and defoamer variants, these water‑miscible ingredients build stable protective layers over workpiece and tool surfaces to minimise cutting friction, restrain tool abrasion, inhibit metal rust and suppress bacterial growth during machining operations. They possess excellent hard‑water tolerance, low‑irritation properties and favourable compatibility with other water‑borne lubricant components. Widely adopted for cutting fluids, grinding liquids, stamping solutions and cleaning agents for ferrous and non‑ferrous metal fabrication, Fanschem offers customizable formulations to satisfy global environmental and metal‑processing standards, with dependable bulk supply and tailored formulation support for worldwide metal‑working fluid producers.

What Are Water-Based Metalworking Additives

Water-Based Metalworking Additives are fully water-soluble functional modifiers exclusively developed for aqueous metalworking fluid systems, delivering integrated extreme pressure lubrication, multi-metal anti-corrosion and environmental biodegradability for cutting, grinding, stamping and forming processes. Different from oil-soluble additives that cannot disperse in water phase, Fanschem complete water-based metalworking additive portfolio contains four mature industrial grades: CSUM 5202 thiadiazole derivatives, CSUM 4200 tolyltriazole derivative, OSUM 400/600 oxidized rapeseed oil, CSUM 8150 siloxane ketone oligomer. All products possess excellent miscibility with neutral, acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions without stratification or precipitation after long-term dilution. In high-friction metal contact zones, active components form stable water-compatible tribofilms and anti-corrosion barrier layers, reducing workpiece abrasion, tool wear and rust defects. Owing to eco-friendly, low-odor and wastewater-treatable properties, these water-based additives have become essential raw materials widely adopted by global metalworking fluid manufacturers.

Core Performance & Key Features of Water-Based Metalworking Additives

Water-Soluble EP & Multi-Metal Anti-Corrosion Performance

CSUM 5202 thiadiazole derivative provides outstanding aqueous extreme pressure capacity and mild anti-corrosion protection for copper alloys under heavy cutting loads. CSUM 4200 water-soluble tolyltriazole derivative achieves long-term passivation for brass, bronze and cobalt alloy components to eliminate discoloration and pitting corrosion. CSUM 8150 siloxane ketone oligomer targets aluminum, tin and zinc substrates, maintaining stable anti-rust efficiency in high-alkaline water-based formula systems. The combined anti-corrosion system covers ferrous metal, copper, aluminum and light alloys, solving cross-metal corrosion problems in mixed-material processing lines.

Biodegradable Lubricating & Stable Aqueous Compatibility

OSUM 400/600 oxidized rapeseed oil adopts plant-based molecular structure with full biodegradability, forming dense lubricating oil film on metal surfaces to lower friction coefficient and extend cutter service life. The whole series maintains uniform dissolution in wide pH range from weak acid to strong alkali, without flocculation, floating oil or sediment after long-cycle circulation in fluid tanks. No harmful insoluble residues will block filtration equipment, and the additives retain stable performance after repeated dilution and circulation, effectively prolonging the service life of water-based metalworking fluids.

Technical Advantages Over Oil-Based Metalworking Additives

Compared with conventional oil-soluble metalworking additives which fail to dissolve in water and cause oil slick, Fanschem water-soluble series owns prominent comprehensive strengths. Full water-dispersible molecular design avoids oil separation and surface floating oil of working fluid, simplifying wastewater treatment and reducing environmental emission costs. The integrated EP and multi-metal anti-corrosion functions cut down the number of auxiliary additives required in formulas, shortening compounding procedures. Plant-derived OSUM 400/600 meets strict eco-environmental standards and can be discharged after simple biodegradation treatment. The additives show stable compatibility with surfactants, pH regulators and hard water stabilizers commonly used in water-based fluids without chemical antagonism. They produce less odor and mist during high-speed machining, improving workshop operating environment, and lower recommended dosage reduces overall formulation cost for fluid producers.

Main Applications of Water-Based Metalworking Additives

Fanschem water-based metalworking additive series covers full categories of aqueous machining fluid production demands. CSUM 5202 thiadiazole EP agent is widely blended into heavy-duty water-based cutting fluid and deep drawing fluid for steel and iron workpieces. CSUM 4200 tolyltriazole metal deactivator matches aqueous grinding fluid and cleaning fluid containing copper and cobalt alloy parts. OSUM 400/600 oxidized rapeseed oil serves as core lubricating component for low-odor biodegradable grinding and forming fluids. CSUM 8150 siloxane ketone oligomer is the preferred anti-corrosion raw material for alkaline aluminum alloy etching and stamping fluids. All four grades can be freely compounded for general industrial processing, automotive part machining, hardware stamping and non-ferrous metal deep drawing production lines.

Technical Specifications & Product Parameters

Fanschem supplies four mature industrial-grade water-soluble metalworking additives with adjustable physicochemical indicators to meet customized aqueous formula standards. CSUM 5202 thiadiazole derivative is universal water-soluble EP additive with mild copper anti-corrosion for heavy-load aqueous cutting fluids. CSUM 4200 tolyltriazole derivative is a dedicated water-phase metal passivator for yellow metal and cobalt alloy anti-discoloration. OSUM 400/600 oxidized rapeseed oil is biodegradable vegetable lubricant with strong film-forming property for eco-friendly machining fluids. CSUM 8150 siloxane ketone oligomer provides exclusive anti-corrosion performance for aluminum, tin and zinc in alkaline water-based systems. Customers can customize solubility, pH adaptability, active ingredient content and viscosity to fit different neutral/acidic/alkaline water-based fluid formulas.
