Bonderite® Machining Coolants 101

What are Machining Coolants? 

---

---

Machining coolants are specially engineered lubricants that provide protection for workpieces and machine tools by controlling friction, reducing extreme temperatures, protecting from corrosion & rust, and physically removing metal chips & flakes.

Control Friction	Reduce Temperature
Remove Metal Chips	Prevent Corrosion

Types of Machining Coolants 

---

---

There are four main types of metalworking fluids – Straight Oil, Soluble Oil, Semi-Synthetic and Synthetic Fluids. Each of the metalworking coolant types provide their own specific benefits and disadvantages for use and it’s important to understand which type of fluid is right for your machining operation.

Metalworking Operations & Fluid Performance

---

---

Not all metalworking fluids are created equal - in fact if you choose the wrong lubricant for your operation, you could be wasting money on scrap, replenishment and disposal costs. The pros and cons of the each fluid type may lend themselves to improved performance depending on the machining operation being performed. For a starter recommendation, the table below gives a high level comparison from Ok to Best by machining operation.
