NuSol® Technologies Overview
Traditional metalworking fluid choices often force machine shops to compromise between the high-load lubricating power of traditional soluble oils and the clean, low-maintenance lifespan of full synthetics. NuSol® eliminates that compromise. By engineering pre-formed, high-viscosity chemical emulsion intermediates, NuSol® delivers intense extreme-pressure lubricity right alongside the unmatched biostability of a premium synthetic line.
The Technology Edge
- Sub-Micron Precision: An average chemical particle size of less than one micron ensures rapid tool zone cooling, maximum surface wetting, and an exceptionally clean machine environment.
- Extreme Film Strength: Our base fluids are 25x to 150x more viscous than standard industry products, providing massive boundary protection at the tool-workpiece interface under extreme pressure.
- Tramp Oil Rejection: Premium formulation completely rejects tramp oils and resists microbial degradation, allowing it to last up to 10x longer than traditional coolants.

Proven Performance: Twist Compression Testing
In rigorous head-to-head friction testing under extreme physical pressures, NuSol® technology demonstrates a completely flat, minimal coefficient of friction compared to standard baselines:
Data Insights
- Traditional Fluids Fail Early: Fail early in the testing cycle as boundary lubrication layers shear and break down under high heat.
- Standard Mineral Oils: Provide initial boundary defense but suffer immediate breakdown as mechanical stresses multiply.
- NuSOL® Technology: Maintains a completely flat, minimal coefficient of friction across the full duration of high-pressure testing, protecting custom tooling from scoring, galling, and premature wear.
Technology Comparison Matrix
| Feature | NuSOL® Synthetic Base | Mineral & Traditional Base Oils |
|---|---|---|
| Film Strength | Exceptional for high-load machining | Lower; prone to breakdown under pressure |
| Lubrication | Superior boundary protection | Frequent metal-to-metal contact |
| Temperature | Maintains viscosity across wide ranges | Viscosity thins out rapidly with heat |
| Tool Life | Extended; minimizes scoring and galling | Shorter; higher incidence of surface damage |
| Fluid Longevity | Consistent; lasts up to 10x longer | Degrades quickly over multiple cycles |
Operator Safety & Plant Cleanliness
VOC-Free
Contains no reportable VOCs to ensure environmental compliance and worker breathing safety.
Mist and Smoke Suppression
High-flashpoint oils completely eliminate workplace mist, smoke, and heavy odors, replacing them with a fresh, neutral scent environment.
Self-Cleaning Action
High natural detergency constantly washes away fines and abrasives from machine surfaces, automatically preserving internal tool components.
