BASF PAG Polyether Pluracol V-5

　　Pluracol V 5 Polyalkylene Glycol Thickener is a viscous thickener composed of polyalkylene glycol; the quality of this product meets the requirements specified in the table below:

 

 

　　This product is easily soluble in water and water-glycol mixed solutions, exhibiting excellent film-forming properties and lubricity. It possesses reversible solubility in water.

 

　　Pluracol V 5 Polyalkylene Glycol Thickener is a viscous, high molecular weight liquid used as a thickener in water-glycol fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Its application is based on low volatility and high viscosity, and includes the following areas: water-based hydraulic fluids, polymer-type quenchants, high-temperature lubricants, and water-based lubricants.

　　For fire-resistant hydraulic fluids: Hydraulic fluids incorporating Pluracol V 5 offer additional significant advantages. These water-glycol solutions exhibit Newtonian rheological properties similar to petroleum lubricating oils, are non-thixotropic, non-dilatant, non-viscous or non-sticky, possess extremely high viscosity indices, do not separate under normal use and storage conditions, respond to anti-corrosion additives (Pluracol V 5 itself is non-corrosive), and respond to anti-wear agents to enhance the lubricating characteristics of Pluracol V 5; thus, they are suitable for water-glycol type fire-resistant hydraulic fluids.

　　For quenchants: Pluracol V 5 thickener dissolves in cold water and separates from water at temperatures above approximately 75°C (reversible solubility). In metal quenchant formulations, the unique ability of Pluracol V 5 thickener to separate from the solution allows the thickener to coat the metal surface, resulting in a controlled cooling rate necessary to achieve desired properties in the metal. As a polymer-type quenchant, it is primarily used in combination with Pluracol V-10 to control quenching speed.

 

　　This product is packaged in 204 kg iron drums. The packaging containers are labeled with the product name, specifications, production batch number, net weight, and manufacturer name.
