Why It Matters
Heavy-duty machining needs extreme-pressure additives, lubricity agents and boundary lubricants to prevent weld/tool wear
Solution Approach
Heavy-duty machining needs extreme-pressure additives, lubricity agents and boundary lubricants to prevent weld/tool wear RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Selection Workflow
1
Process & Requirement Definition
Map the unit operation and define the functional, purity, and regulatory requirements the chemical input must meet.
2
Chemistry & Grade Selection
Match the solvent, intermediate, acid or base, catalyst, or specialty additive to the process and downstream compatibility.
3
Trial & Specification
Validate performance at bench or pilot scale, and set the grade, treat rate, and packaging to match throughput and handling.
4
Quality & Supply Assurance
Lock the spec with a CoA and secure multi-origin sourcing for supply resilience and consistent lot quality.
Recommended Chemistries (4)
Butyl Oleate
CAS 142-77-8
Esters
Conditioning
Polar fatty ester that adsorbs onto the metal to form a boundary lubricant film, lowering friction and improving surface finish in cutting fluids
Melting Point: -26.4 °C Boiling Point: 228 °C AT 15 MM HG Density: 0.8704 AT 15 °C

Butyl Stearate
CAS 123-95-5
Esters
Conditioning
Saturated fatty ester boundary lubricant; oily-film additive that boosts lubricity without the EP sulfur of straight oils
Melting Point: 27 °C Boiling Point: 343 °C Density: 0.854 @ 25 °C/4 °C

Boron Nitride
CAS 10043-11-5
Specialty Additives
Conditioning
Lamellar hexagonal-BN solid lubricant whose shearing platelets carry boundary load at high temperature where liquid films fail
Physical Description: Solid; Insoluble; Crystallizes into 3 forms: al…

Fluoropolymer (PTFE) Dispersion
CAS 9002-84-0
Specialty Additives
Thickening / Rheology
PTFE micropowder dispersion deposits a very low coefficient-of-friction boundary layer that reduces galling and sticking in heavy forming. It is offered here as a stocked slip/boundary substitute, not a true high-load EP additive
