Product Details

Focus Base PS 12 is a cost effective, soluble oil emulsifier base package designed for use in both naphthenic and paraffinic oils. It can be used to formulate both soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids. Focus Base PS 12 is formulated with a sodium sulfonate/succinic anhydride primary emulsion system and gives improved hard water stability and good rust protection with cleanliness. It assists in the prevention of soap and sludge build-up in sumps, reducing corrosion and microbiological problems. Focus Base PS12 does not contain chlorine, free sulfur, nitrites, phenols or heavy metals.

Performance Features

  • Treat rates of 12% to 15% are suggested to make soluble oils, depending on the strength of the emulsion needed
  • When formulated with Focus Amide 5, Focus Ester OE 1505 and coupling aids, high/low oil semi-synthetic fluids can be formulated
  • Soluble oils using Focus Base PS 12 will readily accept chlorine-based additives
  • Chlorine/sulfur/phosphorus-free heavy duty, high performance soluble oils can be formulated with the addition Focus Ester PA 50, Focus Ester PA 117 or Focus Ester PA 125
