A wide range of hydraulic oils includes biodegradable hydraulic oils, based on rapeseed and synthetic base stocks and food machinery lubricants that are food safe.
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.
This ensures maximum tool-life, optimum surface finish, and excellent chip formation.
The high performance is obtained on stainless, exotic alloy steel, aluminium alloys, and other non-ferrous metals.
This product can give neat oil quality surface finish on aluminium.
It could be considered a neat oil replacement.
The machining performance has not come at the expense of other important attributes.
Gulf understands that customers want the very best machining performance combined with operator acceptability, corrosion inhibition, sump-life, cleanliness, tramp-oil rejection, etc Combining the chlorine-free lubricant performance with additives to meet these other requirements took considerable laboratory effort and a new approach to formulation of additives.
Eventually a product was developed which has the potential to offer process enhancements to many applications.
Improved surface finish on aluminium machining, better performance on tool-life when machining difficult stainless steel alloys.
Trials have now proven the capability of this product with some excellent results on aerospace aluminium machining, giving all the improvements Gulf were hoping for.
The trial customer was also impressed with the sump-life, low odour, low foam and cleanliness.
