Exhibitor Spotlight: Vink Chemicals
Friday, 23 August 2024
From 17 to 19 September, you will have a unique opportunity to meet Vink Chemical’s team of experts, who will be present at booth 341 and will support and answer your queries at the Lubricant Expo Europe 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Vink Chemicals will be presenting its product portfolio from the fields of technical biocides and speciality chemicals. One focus will be on the post-preservation of cooling lubricants used in the metalworking industry.
Sangita Singh, Head of Product Development and Technical Support Biocides at Vink Chemicals, is also a speaker in the trade fair’s conference programme.
Vink Chemicals’ product portfolio includes a range of biocides for cooling lubricants e.g. Vinkocide® BB WM, the curative cleaner for circulation systems and production plants grotanol® FF 1 N and the multifunctional active ingredient Vinkoflame® TOF – a stabilising and flame-retardant plasticiser based on trioctylphosphate for a wide range of industrial applications.
Post-preservation of cooling lubricants
In industrial production, cooling lubricant emulsions are indispensable for the operation of modern machine tools. These speciality fluids must be protected against fungal or bacterial attack for as long as possible, but regulations are increasingly restricting the choice of suitable active ingredients. Many manufacturers of cooling lubricant concentrates are now trying to avoid the use of biocides – making effective post-preservation (tank-side treatment) all the more important.
Recently we developed Vinkocide® BB WM, it is a unique formulation for the metalworking fluid market. It contains the biocidal active ingredient 2-Butyl-1,2-benzoisothiazol3(2H)-on (BBIT 20%), which remains stable for long periods of application even at pH values of 7-12 and high temperatures. Vinkocide® BB WM is highly effective against fungi and yeasts at a lower dosage and has excellent water miscibility at a use concentration level.
Curative treatment and multi-purpose agent for the industry
The cleaner grotanol® FF 1 N can be added directly to a water-mixed cooling lubricant to clean the cooling lubricant system – without interrupting work. In addition to cleaning, the product while ensuring microbiological decontamination, also secures hygiene in all types of reactors, pipework, filling systems and production facilities.
Vinkoflame® TOF is a halogen-free plasticiser, that is multifunctional and suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. As an aqueous polymer dispersion, Vinkoflame® TOF serves as a binder for pigment pastes, as an additive for cutting oils, as a release agent for metal processing and as a solvent for the production of hydrogen peroxide. It is also used as a flame retardant for plastics.
Sangita Singh – speaking on “Preservation: Trends and Challenges of next-generation metalworking fluids” on Day 3 of the conference
Vink Chemicals is also represented in the conference programme at the trade fair: Sangita Singh, Head of Product Development and Technical Support, Biocides and Industrial Hygiene, will be joining the team of experts from the industry on 19th of September at 11.15-12.30 and will talk on “Preservation: Trends and Challenges of next-generation metalworking fluids”. Sangita Singh: “Our core themes are sustainability, innovation in chemical solutions and safety standards. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the growth and success of our company and the industry as a whole.”
