Metalworking Fluids
Advanced Metalworking Fluids
In modern machining, your choice of fluid is the difference between a high-quality finish and a costly operational breakdown. The Fluid Dynamics metalworking line is engineered to meet the six pillars of industrial performance:
- Heat Dissipation: Rapid thermal transfer away from critical cutting zones.
- Chip Removal: Efficient flushing of fines to prevent tool re-cutting.
- Corrosion Prevention: Long-lasting rust protection for both workpieces and machine components.
- Reduced Tool Wear: Superior boundary lubrication that extends overall tool life.
- Superior Surface Finish: Eliminates scoring, galling, and micro-tears on finished parts.
- Increased Productivity: Keeps machinery running at optimal feed rates and speeds.
From high-speed operations to heavy-duty grinding, our diverse formulations provide the stability and lubricity required for today’s demanding 200,000 PSI environments.
