POLYOXYALKYLENE GLYCOL MONOALKYL ETHER / POLY(OXYETHYLENE, OXYPROPYLENE) GLYCOL

KONLUB BP, BR and DR products are polyether-type compounds which are the derivatives of alkylene oxide. KONLUB BP product is oil-soluble, and KONLUB BR and DR are water-soluble.
Using this product, it is possible to manufacture diverse products depending on the demand of the properties, with the number of molecular weight varying from the hundreds to tens of thousands.
⊙ It has an excellent lubricity.
⊙ An excellent viscosity-temperature characteristic (high viscosity index).
⊙ It is possible to select a desired viscosity.
⊙ Very low pour point.
⊙ It does not create sludge.
⊙ It is a very stable non-volatile high-molecular substance.
⊙ It does not damage rubbers or metals.
⊙ It has nearly no toxicity.
⊙ It is possible to select between oil and water solubilities, and can be easily used with other substances or solvents.

Diverse purposes are developed and commercialized by using the excellent properties of KONLUB products, and the purposes are classified as follows.
⊙ Uses for lubrication properties
It can be used as a metal-working fluid, hydraulic fluid, ingredient for various lubricants, ingredient for brake fluid, a smoothing oil for the textile industry, and lubricant and parting agent for rubbers and plastics.
⊙ Uses for interfacial properties
Especially, KONLUB BP has an excellent performance as an antifoaming and demulsifying agent, it is widely used as an industrial antifoaming agent.
⊙ Uses for other physical and chemical properties
As the low molecular product of the KONLUB DRs has low toxicity, it is widely used as an ingredient for cosmetics and medical supplies, as well as a synthetic material of diverse organic compounds.
In particular the high molecular products can be used as a water-soluble mechanical hydraulic fluid, heat treating oil for metals or and a heat transfer medium.
