Abstract
Abstract Improved water-emulsifiable ester lubricants for polymeric and metal materials are provided which yield stable emulsions even in the absence of emulsifying agents. The ester lubricants are obtainable from a higher molecular weight di- or polycarboxylic acid and a polyalkoxylated lower alkyl alcohol.
