ROCOL RTD Liquid delivers the ultimate performance on the most severe material. It is perfect when working in blind holes, when filling the cavity or applied to the tool: It will deliver maximum performance and surface finish. That’s why RTD products have been reaming, tapping and drilling with perfect results for over 65 years.

Chlorine-free products are specified in some industries and critical systems, whether that’s in the medical, nuclear, or aerospace industries. ROCOL RTD Chlorine Free Liquid is a premium liquid that has been designed to offer excellent performance and the results desired for all applications, whilst meeting any chlorine free obligations.

Introduced in the late 90s, ROCOL TRI-Logic RTD was originally launched in conjunction with the TRI-logic CNC cutting fluid range. It provides very similar results to RTD Liquid but fortifies into the cutting fluid making it ideal for use on CNC machine tools. RTD TRI-Logic is also water washable, making it easier to clean.

ROCOL RTD Cleancut is designed specifically for the aluminium market. It’s also excellent on yellow metals such as brass. With its clean and clear appearance, it eliminates the risk of staining on these types of materials.

ROCOL RTD Compound is perfect when extra adhesion is required, as less viscous alternatives can be spun off by centrifugal force from a rotating tool. This brown compound is often applied using a brush and should be applied conservatively, as the heat generation will melt the compound during the cutting process allowing it flow freely into the workpiece.

Delivering the same ultimate performance as RTD Compound on the most severe materials. The chlorine free option comes as a distinctive red compound to clearly identify it against the chlorinated versions.

ROCOL RTD Spray is very versatile and can be used when trying to reach or apply to dangerous rotating components. While not delivering the same level of performance as the liquid or compound, it will still provide excellent results and outperforms most other products on the market. This is achieved by ensuring the aerosol has less solvent and the maximum active ingredient as is possible.

ROCOL RTD Foamcut Spray is a unique product that will form a strong lasting foam that sticks to surfaces. It is commonly used on large horizontal borers where cutting fluid can’t be applied due to the excessive splashing of fluid. By applying RTD Foamcut Spray, it will improve the surface finish greatly and increase tool life.
