Synthetic grease reduces bearing down-time
A combination of the latest technology thickeners, high quality additives and base stock oil has produced a synthtic grease to give better bearing service life and resistance to 'heat soak'.
The metalworking oil was developed because conventional lubricity and EP additives in metalworking oils can cause staining to finished yellow metal work piece surfaces.
The product is designed for metalworking companies machining a wide variety of metals on the same machine tool.
This product will be of particularly benefit to metalworking applications in the nuclear industry, and machining parts for medical instruments, where sulphur and aromatics are prohibited.

Also, the base oil used to develop this specialist oil is free of aromatics, eliminating the production of polcyclic aromatics when the application and oil is in use.
