Cutting fluid is clean and efficient

A high performance semi-synthetic water based soluble cutting fluid combines all the benefits of neat oil whilst eliminating the main operational drawbacks to provide a cleaner fluid.

A growing number of metalworking operations have realised improved system efficiency along with added health and safety benefits by replacing their traditional neat oil for machining metals, with Solmaster EPS - a high performance semi-synthetic water based soluble cutting fluid developed by Batoyle Freedom Group.

Neat oil has been the traditional lubricant of choice in the metalworking industry, especially when machining tough materials such as lead free steel and stainless steel, in order to ensure a smooth surface finish and maintain the integrity of tool life.

There have always been drawbacks to machining with neat oils.

Gummy deposits that require regular maintenance, the requirement to spin the sworf in order to remove excess oil prior to recycling and not least Health and Safety issues.

More often than not neat oil is applied to the metalworking process through a continuous jet or spray.

By doing this neat oil is atomised and the resultant mist can affect health of operators.

This risk has been largely reduced by the fitting of extractors, all of which create extra cost.

Realising the drawbacks of using a neat oil Batoyle Freedom Group has developed a specialist water based soluble cutting fluid.

Solmaster EPS combines all the benefits of neat oil whilst eliminating the main operational drawbacks to provide a cleaner fluid in operation that optimises system efficiency whilst affording excellent Health and Safety benefits.

As a water soluble fluid Solmaster EPS virtually eliminates the gummy deposits, associated with neat oil, providing a much cleaner fluid.

This improves system efficiency by minimising downtime and the associated maintenance.

The integrity of the machine and tooling is also greatly enhanced due to the excellent anti-corrosion properties of Solmaster EPS.

Moreover, Solmaster EPS has proved to have a high tolerance to tramp oil contamination which means that the sworf can be easily separated without the need for spinning thus greatly extending the sump life.

This in turn reduces machine downtime and any related loss of production.

Solmaster EPS is versatile fluid which can be used with high tensile ferrous and non ferrous metals and also on heavy duty machining of softer materials such as copper, brass and certain aluminium alloys.
