Brominated or chlorinated nonionic surfactants for sol. extreme pressure cutting oils are significantly more efficient than cycloparaffins. The performance of the surfactants is a function of the emulsion stability and its availability to the surface in contact with the metal. Surfactants with sufficient Cl or Br contents have excellent wear and friction properties. [on SciFinder(R)]

“Polymorphic Transitions Of Mixed Triglycerides, Sos, In The Presence Of Sorbitan Monostearate.”. Journal Of The American Oil Chemists Society, 66, 11, Pp. 1606–1613. doi:10.1007/BF02636186.
The polymorphic behavior of 1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol (SOS) was investigated in the presence of a selected food emulsifier, sorbitan monostearate. Five polymorphs, named $\alpha$, $\gamma$, pseudo-$\beta$', $\beta$2, and $\beta$1, were crystd. and identified by x-ray anal. and DSC. Each polymorph was treated with 2 selected protocols - the screen cycle and the aging cycle. Sorbitan monostearate, when present in the molten fat, retarded the $\alpha$ to $\gamma$ transition during both the screen cycle and the aging cycle. A retardation effect was not detected for the $\gamma$ to pseudo-$\beta$' transition (during the screen or the aging cycle). The emulsifier inserted into the fat behaved as a conventional impurity, causing significant redn. in the melting temps. of each polymorph. As a result, the fat tended to melt prior to its transition. The behavior of SOS in the presence of the sorbitan monostearate is therefore different from that of SSS (tristearin), and may explain, in part, the absence of the strong blooming transition to high melting polymorph that occurs when the fat is rich in SOS. This behavior can also shed some light on the behavior of cocoa butter in the presence of sorbitan esters. [on SciFinder(R)]
Oligomeric polyglycerol was esterified with C12-16 fatty acids and then maleated. The maleates were sulfonated with Na2SO3 to give anionic sulfosuccinate surfactants. Higher crit. micelle concn. (CMC) and better foaming performance but lower wetting power were obtained by increasing the hydrophilic chain length to d.p 6; above this length the opposite trend was noted. A linear relation between hydrophobic chain length and log(CMC) was obsd. Optimization of surface properties could be obtained by regulating the maleation conditions. [on SciFinder(R)]
The appearance of the $\beta$' form in the $\alpha$-$\beta$ transformation in tristearin was hardly detectable. On the other hand, in mixts. of tristearin and tripalmitin at different ratios, $\beta$' formation was favored. This observation confirmed the statement in the literature that in mixts. of different chain lengths orthorhombic packing was stabilized. When an emulsifier (sorbitan monostearate) was added to the mixts., both the $\beta$' and $\beta$ formation were inhibited. The effect caused by the addn. of the emulsifier as an impurity to tristearin was compared to that caused by the addn. of tripalmitin: their effects, although both kinetic, were very different.
