Synthesis And Evaluation Of Some Specialty Surfactants As Industrial Emulsifiers For Cutting Oils

SUMMARYCutting fluids are used for a number of objectives: to prevent the tool, work-piece and machine from overheating, improve surface finish and help clear the Swarf from cutting area. There are two major groups of cutting fluids, the water based or emulsifiaThe commercial emulsifier packages are expensive, therefore the first target of this work is to synthesis some emulsifiers, from local raw materials as possible and the second target is to formulate an efficient metal working fluid.
