MAXIMISING METALWORKING FLUID LIFE

Bacteria and fungi are the enemy of metalworking fluids. For generations, chemists and lubricant technologists have been working to minimise their adverse effect on metalworking fluids.

ROCOL have taken a new approach, developing a synergistic system of cutting fluid, slideway lubricant and tapping fluid. All 3 work together to maximise metalworking fluid life and performance.

Typical Machine Tool Environment

1. TRI-Logic Maximum Life Cutting Fluid

All TRI-Logic metalworking fluids have been carefully formulated to resist degradation in the sump. The TRI-Logic range of metalworking fluids include:

Maximum life cutting fluid.

TRI-Logic ML

Maximum life extreme pressure cutting fluid.

TRI-Logic EP

Maximum life aluminium cutting fluid.

TRI-Logic AL

Maximum life cutting fluid for roll tapping.

TRI-Logic ALX

Maximum life boron free cutting fluid.

TRI-Logic BF

Maximum life cutting fluid for ferrous materials.

TRI-Logic FE

Maximum life cutting fluid for soft water.

TRI-Logic SW

2. TRI-Logic High Performance Machine Tool Lubricants

The primary cause of tramp oil is the total loss slideway lubrication system incorporated in the majority of modern machine tools. In effect, tramp oil contamination and poor cutting fluid life are designed in to the machine tool.

TRI-Logic VG68 & VG220

TRI-Logic HO32/HO46 are high performance hydraulic oils formulated to minimise the detrimental effects of hydraulic oil leaks on cutting fluid.

Also suitable for use in bar feeders requiring a 32 or 46 viscosity grade hydraulic oil.

3. TRI-Logic RTD

Where used in conjunction with water mix cutting fluid, tapping fluid creates yet another source of contamination when it is washed from tool and workpiece into the cutting fluid. In order to avoid providing an additional food source for bacteria and fungi, TRI-Logic RTD has been formulated using ‘biologically hard’ raw materials.

TRI-Logic RTD builds on the well established and market leading ROCOL technology, providing excellent tool life and surface finish.
