Abstract: Metalworking applications are provided with a lubricant comprised of at least one substantially saturated ester formed of a polyhydric alcohol and at least one carboxylic acid, from 5 to 15 weight percent of a partially-esterified vegetable oil, an air-oxidized vegetable oil, a high molecular weight alkali metal sulfonate salt, a high carbon amide, a high molecular weight ethoxylated organic alcohol, or mixtures thereof and from 0.5 to 3.0 weight percent of an ethylene homopolymer, a polymer derived from ethylene and ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers, oxidized derivatives of ethylene polymers, or mixtures thereof. The lubricant is applied to metal in molten form.
