Metal working lubricants, coolants and fluids are specialized coatings and carriers for metal forming, metal cutting, lapping, polishing, and grinding applications. Metal forming oils, greases and fluids are designed to enhance lubrication during extrusion, wire drawing, stamping, bending, swaging, rolling, embossing, and other deformation processes. Metal cutting fluids are used in metal machining for improving tool life (reducing wear), increasing lubrication, reducing workpiece thermal deformation, improving surface finish and flushing away chips from the cutting zone. In lapping or polishing compounds, fluids or oils are used to carry abrasive powders. In grinding applications, the main function of metal working lubricants, coolants and fluids is to perform workpiece cooling. These products are also used to prevent rust and corrosion, and to serve as release agents that prevent materials from sticking or adhering to an underlying surface.

There are three basic types of metal working lubricants, coolants and fluids: fluids, greases, and solid lubricants or dry film. Fluids are a broad category of products that includes lubricants, coolants, metal working fluids, refrigerants, dielectric greases, transformer oils, base oils, and fuel or oil additives. Greases, gels and lubricating pastes are thick, high viscosity products that do not run or flow off surfaces. Greases often consist of oil thickened with a sodium or calcium soap complex or non-soap thickener. Solid lubricants or dry film lubricants are compounds such as hexagonal flake graphite, boron nitride (BN), molybdenum disulfide, or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powders designed to reduce friction, binding or wear; exclude water; or provide other specialized characteristics.

Products & Services Related to Metal Working Lubricants, Coolants and Fluids
Dielectric Greases and Insulating Fluids
Dielectric greases and insulating fluids are insulating oils, greases, transformer oils and fluids that have a high dielectric strength and are used in transformers, capacitors, EDM machining, and other electrical device applications.
Heat Transfer Fluids and Thermal Oils
Heat transfer fluids, thermal oils, circulating coolants, and heater liquids are used to carry thermal energy in process heating and machine cooling applications.
Hydraulic Oil and Transmission Fluids, Industrial
Industrial hydraulic oil and transmission fluids are used to transmit power in hydraulic equipment and power transmission applications.
Industrial Greases
Industrial greases are thickened gels that consist of natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic substances. They do not run off surfaces and are used in a variety of lubrication, sealing, and exclusion applications.
Industrial Lubricants
Industrial lubricants are oils, fluids, greases and other compounds designed to reduce friction, binding or wear and exclude moisture. Specialized characteristics may enhance thermal conduction across thermal interfaces or reduce electrical resistivity across electrical joints.
Solid and Dry Film Lubricants
Solid and dry film lubricants form a dry layer or coating that excludes moisture and reduces friction, binding, and wear. They often contain additives such as corrosion, oxidation, and rust inhibitors.
Synthetic Oils, Greases and Lubricants
Synthetic oils, greases and lubricants are based on synthetic compounds such as silicone, polyglycol, esters, digesters, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and mixtures of synthetic fluids and water.
