Abstract
Aqueous compositions containing from 1% to 40% by weight of a perfluoropolyethereal compound having a molecular weight ranging from 400 to 5,000 and containing carboxylic end groups, which are salified with an organic or inorganic base are disclosed. The compositions are useful as lubricating/refrigerating liquids in the plastic cold processing processes of metals, in particular, rolling, dishing, drawing, and the like.
Claims6
A method for the cold plastic processing of metals, comprising:
- introducing a lubricating/refrigerating liquid in a cold processing machine;
- and
- processing the metal in said machine in contact with the above said liquid, said liquid being an aqueous composition comprising from 1 to 40% by weight of a perfluoropolyether having an average molecular weight ranging from 400 to 5,000, with end groups of the perfluoropolyethereal chain selected from the group consisting of perfluoroalkyls, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid salts and mixtures thereof.
A method for the cold plastic processing of metals, comprising:
- introducing a lubricating/refrigerating liquid in a cold processing machine;
- and
- processing the metal in said machine in contact with the above said liquid, said liquid being an aqueous composition comprising from 1 to 40% by weight of a perfluoropolyether having an average molecular weight ranging from 400 to 5,000, said perfluoropolyether having the formula, ##STR9## wherein X is F or CF.sub.3, R is F or Cl or Br or I, R', like or different from R, is also F or Cl or Br or I, Y is a --COOH group or a perfluoroalkyl group, T is a perhaloalkyl group selected from the group consisting of Alog CF.sub.2 --, and Alog ##STR10## where Alog is Cl or Br or I, n ranges from 1 to 15, the m/n ratio ranging from 0.01 to 0.5.
