Cutting Solutions > Coolants
Soluble Oils
Soluble Oils are metalworking fluid concentrates containing a high percentage of oil (usually greater than 50%). When mixed with water, they form an emulsion that has a milky appearance. The high oil content provides excellent physical lubricity for the cutting operation as well as protection for the machine tool.
Semi-Synthetic
Semi-synthetic coolants are metalworking fluid concentrates that contain a small amount of oil (usually less than 30%) as well as synthetic lubricants and other additives. When mixed with water, they form a translucent fluid. Semi-synthetics combine the physical lubricity of soluble oils with the chemical lubricity, cooling and cleanliness of synthetic coolants.
Synthetics
Synthetic coolants are metalworking fluid concentrates that contain no mineral oil. When mixed with water, they form a clear fluid. Synthetics have excellent cooling properties and run very clean providing long life in the sump.
