Product overview
NFO Noroil 45E offers manufacturers an alternative to
natural sperm oil for applications requiring oil-based lubrication and
formulation flexibility.
The Noroil family is recognized for its affinity and polar
attraction to metal surfaces, making it valuable in cutting oil formulations.
It also supports the production of oil-in-water emulsions and water-soluble
cutting fluids.
Beyond metalworking, Noroil products serve the leather
tanning industry, where they contribute to the desired feel and finish of
processed leather. Their use in grease manufacturing and industrial oil
formulations further extends their versatility across manufacturing sectors.
