PRESS RELEASE
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., May 18, 2016 – Ingevity has announced the introduction of a patent-pending product, AltaLUB™ 5300, as the first product in the new AltaLUB performance lubricity additive portfolio. Based on fatty acid chemistry, this product is ideal in metalworking applications where precision matters most. This product line is currently available in North and South America.
Lubricity forms the foundation of the AltaLUB portfolio—a new series of high performance metalworking fluid additives. Lab and field testing have shown AltaLUB 5300 provides high mixed-film boundary lubrication, low foam, ease of formulation and hydrolytic stability.
“As market trends shift toward new metal alloys, requirements for additive performance have become more stringent. AltaLUB 5300 was designed for this demanding future. In field-testing, we saw smoother cuts being made over longer periods of time when this product was used in the metalworking fluid formulation,” said Shana McCabe, Ingevity’s global business manager, lubricants and metalworking fluid additives.
