TAGAT® V 20 is a non-ionic emulsifier based on a POE-20 glycerol oleoricinoleate.
Typical Applications
The low foaming emulsifier TAGAT® V 20 is used in a wide range of applications such as:
In case of metalworking application, TAGAT® V 20 is mainly used as primary emulsifier 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 for combinations of these oils with mineral oils.
If combined with alcohol ethoxylates or fatty acid alkanol amides, TAGAT® V 20 can be used as co-emulsifier for the formulation of purely mineral oil based metal working fluids.
- Metal working fluids (MWF)
- Concrete release agents
- Textile auxiliary formulations
- Pulp and paper defoamers

Benefits at a glance
TAGAT® V 20
- Is based on raw materials derived from natural origin, which leads correspondingly to excellent dermatological (no skin irritation) as well as to good toxicological and ecological properties (no hazard warning labels, water hazard class 1)
- Has excellent emulsifying and stabalizing properties, which ensures the spontaneous formation of finely dispersed and long-time stable oil-in-water emulsions
- Enables in purely mineral oil based lubricants in combination with alcohol ethoxylates synergistic effects that often allows a decrease in total emulsifier amount as a result of improved emulsion stability
- Shows a good solubility in vegetable and synthetic ester oils
- Impoves the solubility of biocides in mineral oil based lubricants
- Enhances lubricating properties of water-mixed fluids
- Shows a low foaming tendency and thus leads to low foaming formulations
- Has in alkaline water-mixed lubricants (pH 9.5) a significantly improved hydrolysis resistance compared to conventional POE-20 castor oils
- Provides an excellent thermal stability
