FUNCTIONAL V-570 is an additive that confers a tack or stringiness to lubricants made from vegetable based or animal-based fatty oils. It is principally used to provide adherence in saw-chain and saw-guide oils in environmentally sensitive locations, or to prevent product contamination by petroleum products. It may also be used to inhibit stray mists, or to provide drip resistance in other products. FUNCTIONAL V-570 may also be used to provide thickening and tack in oils that contain high levels of fatty additives, such as in cutting oils. For tackifying vegetable-oil based single use lubricants FUNCTIONAL V-584 may be used at lower treatment level.
COMPOSITION:
The active ingredient in FUNCTIONAL V-570 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-570 is a biodegradable vegetable oil.
HANDLING:
While warming FUNCTIONAL V-570 to about 65°C (150°F) may facilitate pumping and handling, extended
storage of this or any other vegetable oil- derived product at elevated temperatures is not recommended.
Safe handling precautions are the same as those to be taken with vegetable oils; see the current Material
Safety Data Sheet. The tackiness of products made from any tackifier may be somewhat lessened by shear, so mechanical shearing during blending and handling should be minimized.
