The Book of Terms

Fatty Oils

1) An ingredient used in an oil-based lubricant/coolant, particularly on aluminum wiredrawing and rolling applications. Fatty oils enhance the extreme pressure characteristic of the oil (usually mineral oil) and increase lubricity. 2) An ingredient “solublized” or emulsified in a water-based coolant to provide characteristics needed to perform drawing or rolling functions.
