Features and Benefits

 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
  • This product has shown excellent filtering characteristics in a 3rd party’s filtration test**. This helps to extend the life of the fluid and helps to keep the working environment clean.
  • Our chlorine free formulation can help reduce disposal costs
  • Low odour and light colour help to improve the working environment
  • Multi-metal compatibility provides opportunity for product consolidation
* Based on feedback received from our customers in the USA using Performance Bio NC fluids
** A 3rd party producer of filters for the grinding segment was asked to use their in-house test to assess whether they would approve this cutting oil for use with their products based on its filtering characteristics

Storage and Handling

 N/A To avoid product deterioration always keep the container/drum tightly sealed. For optimum product stability, store between 5°C/41°F and 45°C/113°F in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prevent exposure to frost and avoid water ingress. It is preferable to store the product indoors. For more details, please refer the product safety data sheet.
