Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Prosol 44 W is a water-soluble oil recommended for hot rolling aluminium and aluminium alloys, giving a milky-white oil-in-water emulsion whose stability balance is optimised for high rolling performance, excellent surface finish and minimised oil consumption per tonne rolled. Its neat concentrate is made from solvent-refined mineral oil with a high content of rolling-active compounds and lubricity additives. It is used on reversible 2-high/4-high breakdown mills, finishing tandem mills and combination mills, at emulsion strengths of 3-7%, with demineralized water recommended for top-up and fresh emulsion preparation, mixing at 15-25 degrees C, and the oil concentrate always added to the water phase. It offers good lubricating and wetting properties enabling high reduction ratios at high rolling speeds, excellent surface finish, low rolling force and reduced mill power consumption, a short break-in period, ready separation of fines and tramp oil, high resistance to bacterial degradation, and long emulsion service life. No formal specification or approval codes are listed on the datasheet.

Applications

• Rolling of copper, copper alloys, and mild steel.
• Hydroforming of copper and brass.
• Grinding of stainless steel strips in belt grinding machines.
• Cutting (milling, turning, drilling) of metals such as steel, copper, and aluminium.
• Hot rolling of aluminium and aluminium alloys on breakdown reversible 2-high/4-high mills, finishing tandem mills, and combination mills.

Performance & benefits

• Versatile product for use in many operations.
• Long service life may be achieved with proper maintenance.
• Protection against corrosion.
• EP additives providing higher load carrying capacity.
• Good lubricating properties of the emulsion allow a high reduction ratio at high rolling speed.
• Good wetting ability of the emulsion.
• Excellent surface finish quality.
• Balanced fatty acid and lubricity agent contents for improved rolling performance.
• Low rolling force required.
• Reduced mill power consumption.
• Increased mill flexibility: higher reduction ratio, higher rolling speed.
• Short break-in period, meaning optimum emulsion particle size distribution and lubricity level are achieved even with fresh emulsion.
• Ready separation of fines and tramp oil from the emulsion, minimising stains.
• High lubricity level, reducing 'pick-up' tendency.
• High resistance to bacterial degradation.
• Long emulsion service life.
• Improved production and reduced costs, increasing operation profit.
