BIOCEA II

Product Details

Biosynthetic® Technologies has developed a revolutionary new class of high-performance bio-based additives for metalworking fluids called Biocea™. These novel and sustainable additives use the patented estolide technology and are biobased, biodegradable, non-bioaccumulative, and non-toxic.
 
Biocea additives deliver superior lubricity, film strength, biostability, hydrolytic stability, oxidation stability, and increased polarity on both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. They are derived from natural oils and improve the overall quality of formulated metalworking fluid while being sustainable and environmentally friendly. Biocea additives are known to increase productivity, reduce waste and down time, and lower cost in your overall manufacturing operation.

Typical Applications

Biocea additives provide excellent lubricity, film strength and improved tool life, when compared to other lubricity additives. In addition to superior oxidative stability, Biocea additives provide excellent wear protection as well as industry leading hydrolytic stability.
 
​Biocea additives are used in a variety of metalworking and metal forming fluid formulations for all four major classes of metalworking fluids: straight oil, soluble oil, semisynthetic, and synthetic metalworking fluids. Biocea additives can be used as high-performance lubricity additives, that meet (and often exceed) the technology requirement needed in modern machining techniques. These novel Biocea additives are considered to be the best bio-based choice for multipurpose or general-purpose applications in neat oils, soluble oils, and semi-synthetic fluids. They have good solubility in all base oils, and easily emulsify in water-based chemistries.
