Low-volatility & anti-corrosion phosphate esters & amphoterics for the metalworking & metal cleaning sector

Manchester-based Lakeland Laboratories continually invests in the development of our phosphate ester and amphoteric formulas, complying with the metalworking and metal cleaning sector’s latest legislation to ensure products never stand still and workplaces remain safe for client and customer teams.

Effective phosphate esters for metalworking & metal cleaning sector clients:

Fully manufactured in-house, Lakeland Laboratories phosphate ester surfactants are nominally 100% active, and have reliable anti-corrosion properties that support metalworking and metal cleaning applications.

UK and international clients and end users, including large steel and other metal manufacturers, infrastructure sector organisations, construction and engineering businesses, achieve greater value from raw steel and metals when products are protected by Lakeland’s Manchester-based phosphate ester range, shielding surfaces to result in improved appearance, a longer lifecycle and greater durability.

Multifunctional amphoteric surfactants for metalworking & metal cleaning products:

Lakeland Laboratories’ dipropionate surfactants provide corrosion inhibition and are highly versatile, making them a key component in the metalworking and metal cleaning sector.

Amphoteric surfactants are available in high and low-foaming variants, are powerful emulsifiers and are pH stable in a range of pH, providing corrosion inhibition, anti-static and dispersant properties which are utilised effectively in metal cleaning and metal finishing to prevent rusting, giving the metals a longer lifespan.
