A new oil-in-water microemulsion composition has been proposed, incorporating a suite of multifunctional chemical additives (surfactants, improver additives) produced and marketed in Russia. The composition is intended for use as a hydraulic fluid for mechanised mine supports. The physicochemical properties of the developed concentrate and the well-known SOLCENIC GM 20 microemulsion concentrate (Fuchs, Germany) are close to each other. The developed microemulsion concentrate is recommended as a replacement for the foreign-made product.
