FUNCTIONAL V-584 is an additive that confers a tack or stringiness to lubricants made from vegetable-based or animal-based fatty oils. Unlike other tackifiers that are effective in fatty oil, FUNCTIONAL V-584 is registered with NSF as HX-1 category – an additive for lubricants used where incidental food contact may occur. It is principally used to provide adherence in chain oils in environmentally sensitive or food-processing locations. It will also inhibit stray mists and to provide drip resistance.
COMPOSITION:
The active ingredient in FUNCTIONAL V-584 is a polymer that provides tackiness and thickening. This polymer is itself not readily biodegradable, but permits the formulation of tacky lubricants from biodegradable base oil systems. The diluent oil in FUNCTIONAL V-584 is a biodegradable vegetable oil.
HANDLING:
While warming FUNCTIONAL V-584 to about 50°C (120°F) may facilitate pumping and handling, extended storage of this or any other vegetable oil- derived product at elevated temperatures is not recommended. For best tackiness retention, do not warm above about 65°C (150°F). Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with vegetable oils; see the current MSDS. The tackiness of products made from any tackifier may be somewhat lessened by shear, so mechanical shearing during blending and handling should be minimized. FUNCTIONAL V-584 may separate slightly upon standing. To maintain integrity of the product, mix well before using.
