Features & Benefits
Boron Free
No boron — no SVHC classification under REACh. Eliminates the regulatory and health compliance burden of boron-containing metalworking fluids while maintaining equivalent or superior performance.
Formaldehyde Free
No formaldehyde releaser biocide — protecting operator health and simplifying workplace health and safety compliance across South African manufacturing operations.
Excellent Lubrication
High lubrication properties from the micro-emulsion technology — delivering superior surface finish quality and extended tool life in demanding machining operations on steel, stainless steel, aluminium and titanium.
Good Cleanliness & Detergency
Excellent cleanliness on tools and machine surfaces — preventing the swarf and deposit build-up that reduces machining accuracy, damages machine slideways and shortens coolant sump life.
Multi-Application
Suitable across turning, milling, drilling, deep hole drilling, tapping, threading, reaming, sawing, grinding, honing and lapping — a single premium coolant covering all machining operations including the most demanding deep hole drilling and honing applications.
Broad Material Compatibility
Compatible with cast iron, steel, high alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloys, aerospace aluminium alloys, copper alloys and titanium — suitable for mixed-material manufacturing environments and aerospace component machining.
