Application Information
  • Functional V-191 is a tackifier for use in greases, including calcium sulfonate.
  • Functional V-191 has a modest viscosity compared to solutions of tackifier polymers in oil.  
  • Functional V-191 is recommended for use in greases that are made with water or where water is formed as a by-product of soap formati

Typical treatment range of 0.5 - 2.0% is used to provide cling and tack in greases. 

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information
  • Add Functional V-191 as late in the grease making process as possible, preferably after milling, if water can be tolerated in the finished product.  
  • Functional V-191 contains ammonia, and drums or other containers should be opened with care to avoid inhaling ammonia vapor. 
  • Functional V-191 may be stored 3 months under proper conditions in tightly sealed container to minimize evaporation which may adversely affect viscosity and dispersability.
  • Functional V-191 is subject to freezing at 0°C.  
  • Freezing must be prevented to avoid irreversibly breaking the emulsion.
  • Recommended storage temperature is above 5°C (40°F). Soft settling may be removed by stirring.
