Advanced Coolants and Lubricants Designed to Enhance Precision, Extend Tool Life, and Improve Efficiency in Machining and Metal Forming Processes

Metalworking

Metalworking

Coolants and lubricants are essential for efficient metalworking like grinding, machining, stamping, drawing, and forming, ensuring precision and quality by cooling, lubricating, and removing debris. Our advanced solutions––synthetic, semi-synthetic, and soluble oil coolants––are designed to meet the demands of various machining and forming processes in the metal working industry, from light to heavy-duty operations. 

Synthetic coolants provide superior corrosion protection, outstanding lubricity, and excellent heat stability, making them ideal for high-temperature machining. Semi-synthetic coolants offer a stable blend of mineral oil and additives, delivering enhanced cooling, lubricity, and rust protection for high-speed applications. Soluble oils create a milky emulsion that provides effective cooling and lubrication across a wide range of uses. 

In metal forming, our high-performance lubricants extend tool and die life, minimize wear, reduce heat, and improve surface quality in processes such as tube and wire drawing and cold extrusion. They help prevent residue buildup, keep dies cool, and ensure smooth operation while also reducing rejects and simplifying cleaning. Engineered for efficiency, performance, and environmental compatibility, our fluids help optimize your production processes and deliver superior results. 

Our skin-pass fluids offer effective lubrication, detergency, and rust protection for cold rolling and hot dip galvanized steel applications. These fluids ensure clean rolls and significantly reduce excessive roll wear. Additionally, they minimize the surface roughness of galvanized substrates. After treatment, Chemetall skin-pass fluids are fully compatible with downstream passivation and permanent coating processes.
