Weld longer without damaging your torch— replace the water in your welding cooler with these coolants to prevent mineral deposits and frozen lines. Coolants also tolerate colder temperatures than water. They are nonconductive.
Designed to handle high pressure generated while tapping, threading, and reaming, these coolants dissipate heat and prevent corrosion to improve surface finishes and extend tool life. They reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. Use these lubricants for easier and faster tapping, cutting, and threading of hard and thick material. These easy-to-apply stick lubricants won't drip or run for a cleaner workspace.
Use them for tapping many types of metal, as well as plastic and rubber. Apply to taps to make cutting faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. These general purpose lubricants reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life.
Also known as plumber's lard oil, these light-colored lubricants are chlorine and sulfur free, so they won't stain soft metal, such as aluminum or copper. They reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier.
A high sulfur concentration provides the lubricity required to protect tools and stainless steel work surfaces, but these lubricants will stain other metal. For use in food-processing and preparation areas, these lubricants are NSF registered H1 for incidental food contact. Reduce mess and waste with these easy-to- apply, nonstaining lubricants.
All resist running and dripping. These electrical discharge machining EDM lubricants resist oxidation, so they last longer and extend the life of your electrode. They're clear for workpiece visibility. Apply these lubricants to abrasive belts and wheels to extend their life and improve ground glass surface finishes. They lubricate the abrasive surface for faster and easier cutting cycles. Use this high-purity mineral oil to lubricate smoothing and sharpening stones and to prevent material buildup. Add these liquids to your machine-tool reservoir to reduce foam in coolant systems and keep them running smoothly.
Remove oily residue, soap deposits, and heavy soils from your machine-tool reservoir without harming paints, coatings, seals, and hoses. Inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi in your machine-tool reservoir to improve coolant effectiveness and eliminate the cause of foul odors. Chemically neutralize and eliminate harmful acidic or alkaline gases, such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia.
These deodorizers are often used in machine coolant, cutting fluids, wastewater, and trash collection areas. For controlled cooling, use quenching oil instead of water to minimize cracking and distortion after heat treating parts and tools. Contact Us Order. Log in.

The downdraft hood is a device located in the floor or at the base of the machine. Oil Filtration. Water that contains certain dissolved ions such as calcium and magnesium is termed "hard" because they will form scale upon evaporation and will form insoluble soap scum when mixed with many MWFs. Excessive skin cleansing with harsh agents can produce an irritant contact dermatitis or aggravate preexisting dermatitis. Qualitative assessments are often performed to rule out the need for quantitative assessments. High molecular weight PIB is exceptionally effective in suppressing mist formation for straight mineral oil cutting fluids, without adverse effect on the quality of the machined part or on the fluid properties.

Malodours and slime residue are a clear indication of microbiological activity. Tramp oil pooling can promote the proliferation of bacteria and every attempt should be made to remove it. Visual inspection and detection of poor hygiene and house keeping such as pools of liquid, accumulation of rubbish and poor personal hygiene will exacerbate any incidence of microbial contamination. The most common way to test for the presence of microbiological contamination is to take a sample from the fluid or surface and cultivate on a supporting media Agar.
These contain agar on each side and depending on the type of dip-slide, support the growth of bacteria on one side identified by red spots and fungi and yeasts on the other.
Note that the assessment of anaerobic bacteria is limited due to the presence of oxygen; this does not mean however that they are not present. Below is a guideline as to what level of contamination is considered significant and what cause of action is advised;. Matthew has been working for Q8Oils since and is an expert in Metalworking fluids, more specifically in biocides and microbiology - which can be explained by his background in chemistry.

Bio deterioration of metal working fluids A typical metal working fluid can consist of various organic components such as fatty acids, esters, surfactants, sulphur and phosphate compounds plus contamination such as tramp oil.
Emulsion characteristics Microbial activity can change emulsion characteristics either by increasing foaming or by splitting the emulsion due to the production of organic acids and bio-surfactants. Fluid performance Micro-organisms can metabolise lubricity additives which are then degraded and broken down and their functionality lost or reduced as a result.
