Coolants
All major brands of coolant put to the test at by a major aircraft manufacturer.
CHEMETALL: NALCO – TECH COOL – GARDOCOOL, BLASER SWISSLUBE, QUALICHEM and others. All claiming to be the next generation metal cutting fluid. Below is just one example of the test setup, parameters, matrix and the data. Tech Cool 35052 came out on top of them all.
Goal: Find A Coolant That Meets All of These Qualifications
- Longer Sump Life
- Reduced MWF consumption
- Reduced Tooling Costs
- Clean Operation
- Reduced Maintenance and Down Time
- Lower End Use Cost
- Better Operator Acceptance
- Easier Chip Handling (Chips are dry)
- No Smoking
- No Misting
- Low or No foaming
- Improved Health and Safety
- Waste Reduction
