In the medical manufacturing sector, there is no margin for error. Producing surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, and high-precision diagnostic components require fluids that provide absolute metallurgical control and uncompromising cleanliness. Fluid Dynamics provides the specialized polymer quenchants, high-viscosity machining fluids, and technical oversight necessary to meet these highly demanding industry requirements.
Superior Metallurgical Control with UCON® Quenchants
Medical-grade alloys require exact thermal management during heat treatment to ensure long-term durability and safety. Our DOW® UCON® polymer quenchants offer a precise, safe alternative to traditional oil and water quenching.
- Precision Temperature Control: Utilizing unique inverse solubility technology, these polyalkylene glycols (PAG) deliver highly precise quenching rates designed to replace straight oil.
- Minimized Defects: Perfect your heat-treatment process while minimizing cracks, distortion, and product defects in sensitive ferrous and non-ferrous medical materials.
- Safety and Consistency: Formulated with water to eliminate fire hazards, UCON® quenchants provide the consistency and quality recognized across the United States for premium performance.
Sub-Micron Precision Machining with NuSOL®
For the machining of intricate medical parts, NuSOL® technology eliminates the compromise between heavy-duty lubrication and clean-profile synthetics.
- Advanced Accuracy: An average particle size under one micron ensures rapid tool cooling and maximum surface wetting for sub-micron precision in complex geometries.
- Clean Room Compatibility: NuSOL® features zero reportable VOCs and high-flashpoint base oils that eliminate workplace mist, smoke, and odors—essential for maintaining a pristine manufacturing environment.
- Extended Tool Life: Proprietary base fluids offer film strength 25x to 150x more viscous than typical products, protecting expensive custom tooling during high-load machining cycles.
High-Efficiency Specialized Cleaning
Medical components must be free of all contaminants before further processing or final assembly. We provide the exact cleaning chemistry required for sensitive medical operational workflows.
- Multi-Metal Compatibility: Specialized chemistry formulated to clean mixed metals—including stainless steel, aluminum, and yellow metals—without staining or etching.
- Advanced Cleaning Methods: High-efficiency ultrasonic, spray, and immersion cleaners designed to remove metalworking fluids, chips, and carbon smut between machining stages.
- Lean and Safe: Our advanced bio-based and biodegradable options help your facility stay ahead of environmental regulations while protecting your staff and your bottom line.
