Features and Benefits	N/A To avoid product deterioration always keep the container/drum tightly sealed. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prevent exposure to frost and avoid water ingress. For optimum product stability, it is preferable to store the product indoors between 5°C and 45 °C / 41°F and 113°F.	N/A Advanced additive technology offers high lubricity properties that may help lower production costs through extended tool life Formulated without chlorinated paraffins can help fulfill aspects of legislative and waste treatment requirements that exclude chlorinated materials Low odor, light color and low mist qualities can result in high operator acceptance	N/A Customers have commented* favorably on the low misting and smoking characteristics. This helps to reduce oil consumption. High oxidation stability increases product lifetime and reduce oil consumption Plant oil based technology shows better cooling properties than traditional mineral oils. This characteristic could help support productivity increases Our chlorine free formulation can help reduce disposal costs Low odor and light colour help to improve the working environment Multi-metal compatibility provides opportunity for product consolidation	N/A Customers have commented* favorably on the low misting and smoking characteristics.
