PIBSA-based Emulsifiers for Metalworking Fluids
Metalworking fluids depend on the strength and consistency of the emulsifier package used. Whether you’re formulating soluble oils or semi-synthetics, Â emulsifier choice determines how the fluid blends, how it performs under shear, and how long it stays stable in service.
Nelson Brothers develops metalworking emulsifiers based on PIBSA technology engineered to support stable emulsions, giving formulators a stronger foundation than legacy systems adapted from older chemistry.
Your Source for Metalworking Fluid Emulsifiers
As a specialty chemicals manufacturer, Nelson Brothers offers PIBSA-based emulsifiers designed to meet the highest performance requirements of today’s metalworking fluids. Our flexible manufacturing allows for custom emulsifier development in order to enhance performance of your coolant where it counts.
Our emulsifiers are created to deliver:
- Strong, long-lasting emulsion stability
- Clean blooming and efficient dispersion
- Reliable hard-water performance
- Lower foam under circulation and pump shear
- Better cooling, lubricity, and overall fluid life
- Outstanding bio-resistance
Our PIBSA-based emulsifiers provide peace-of-mind to formulators by giving them higher quality options that simplify their formulating lift. Nelson Brothers is able to provide the exact degree of stability and consistency that our customers require.Â
Why Choose Nelson Brothers Emulsifiers?
Designed for Metalworking Performance
Our emulsifiers are engineered with chemistries selected for their ability to support stable emulsions in soluble oils and semi-synthetics.
Low-Foam Behavior Under Real Conditions
Foam disrupts cooling, lubrication, and flow. Our emulsifiers are tested under circulation and shear to ensure controlled, low-foam performance.
Built on In-House PIBSA Expertise
Because of our depth of experience in manufacturing PIBSA used in multiple markets, we maintain complete control over quality and performance from the raw material to final emulsifier.
Consistent Stability and Clean Blends
Our emulsifiers work efficiently and remain stable even in challenging water conditions. Our batch-made manufacturing process ensures consistent, chloride-free, and tar-free product.
Custom PIBSA-based Emulsifiers for Your Formulation Needs
Every metalworking formulation has unique goals. Nelson Brothers provides:
- Custom emulsifier development tailored to your performance targets
- Specialized surfactant blends for assisting with fluid component balance
- Technical support for troubleshooting and optimization
Our technical teams partner directly with formulators to develop emulsifiers that meet precise performance criteria.

Emulsifiers for Soluble Oil and Semi-Synthetic Metalworking Fluids
Whether formulating soluble oils or semi-synthetics, emulsifier choice determines how a metalworking fluid blends, how it performs under shear, and how long it stays stable in service. Nelson Brothers develops its emulsifiers on PIBSA technology engineered to support stable emulsions, giving formulators a stronger foundation than legacy systems adapted from older chemistry.
This PIBSA foundation runs through our metalworking lineup. Our Metalworking Fluid Emulsifiers are built on the same PIBSA-based chemistry, and our PIBSAs for Metalworking are made to emulsify, offering consistent performance across soluble oils and semi-synthetics.
In-House PIBSA Manufacturing and Quality Control
Because of its depth of experience manufacturing PIBSA used across multiple markets, Nelson Brothers maintains complete control over quality and performance from the raw material to the final emulsifier. That control is what allows Nelson Brothers to provide the exact degree of stability and consistency its customers require, backed by a batch-made manufacturing process that ensures consistent, chloride-free, and tar-free product.
This same PIBSA manufacturing base supports Nelson Brothers’ other PIBSA and Emulsifiers offerings, as well as its Emulsifiers for Water Science Applications.
