Oils avoid leakage into machine tool
coolants
Machine tool hydraulic and slideway oils have special anti-emulsifier additives to keep tramp oil separate from the coolant to prevent lubricants leaking into the coolant system.
Gulf's new Harmony Aquaguard and Gulfway Aquaguard Machine Tool Hydraulic Oil and Slideway Oil range have been specially formulated to reduce the problems caused by lubricants leaking into the coolant system Normal Slideway and hydraulic oils that get into the coolant through either machine design or seal leakage will quickly emulsify and contaminate the soluble cutting oil emulsion, reducing its effectiveness and creating a breeding ground for bacterial infection

Vanishing press lubricant solves drying problem
A company's steel panels were not drying fast enough after leaving their press plant and arriving at their assembly line, but a faster vanishing lubricant has since solved the problem.
The resulting 'tramp oil' can result in substantially reduced coolant sump life, staining, inferior surface finish, lower tool life, and operator health and safety problems from skin irritations.
Gulfway Aquaguard Plus Slideway Oils and Harmony Aquaguard Hydraulic Oils contains special anti-emulsifier additives to keep tramp oil separate from the coolant, allowing it to be easily drawn out or skimmed off and disposed of.
This can triple the life of the coolant, and reduce the risk of potentially serious operator health and safety problems, especially when used in conjunction with Gulfcut high performance soluble cutting fluids.
Gulfway Aquaguard Plus Slideway Oils also contain a unique anti-microbial additive system that works to control the spread of bacteria, extending the life of the coolant even further.
Despite their advanced formulations, which can enable Gulf customers to improve operator health and safety, and make substantial savings in coolant and disposal costs, Gulfway Aquaguard Slideway and Hydraulic Oils are less expensive than most high quality standard grades.
Gulfway Aquaguard has been developed to provide excellent stick-slip properties and wash off resistance, and is available in both ISO VG 32, 68 and 220 viscosity grades, making it suitable for horizontal and vertical slideways as well as combined hydraulic / slideway systems.
