TEGIN® O V

TEGIN® O V is an 100 % active, non-ionic emulsifier based on a mono-di-glyceride of oleic acid. The at 25 °C paste-like TEGIN® O V quickly becomes liquid at slightly elevated temperatures.

Typical Applications

TEGIN® O V is used as emulsifier in a wide range of industrial applications, such as
  • Metal working fluids (MWF)
  • Agrochemicals
  • Concrete release agents

In case of metalworking applications, TEGIN® O V is mainly used as co-emulsifier in combination with hydrophilic emulsifiers (e.g. TAGAT® V 20 and TAGAT® TO V) for the formulation of environmentally friendly lubricants based on vegetable (e.g. rape seed oil, sun flower oil, canola oil) and synthetic ester oils (e.g. trimethylol propane trioleate) as well as combinations of these oils with mineral oils.In non-water-miscible lubricants (e.g. neat oils, lubricating oils) TEGIN® O V is often used as lubricity improver.

Benefits at a glance

TEGIN® O V
  • Is based on raw materials derived from natural origin
  • Has excellent dermatological properties (no skin irritation)
  • Shows excellent toxicological and ecological properties (no hazard warning labels, water hazard class 1)
  • Has a high total monoester content, which significantly enhances emulsion stability of vegetable oil based formulations when combined with TAGAT® V 20 or TAGAT® TO V
  • Improves lubricating properties of water-mixed emulsions as well as of non-water-miscible lubricants
