Behind the hype of bio-based metalworking fluids

Forced by new regulations lubricants manufacturers worldwide are replacing the mineral base oils in metalworking fluids by natural sourced derivatives.
Stainless steel is often considered difficult to machine. While using the right machinery and tools for the job is most important, choosing the most effective metalworking fluid can help overcome common machining problems.
The Q8 Bach XNRG bio-lubricants exceed the EN 16807 requirements, combining excellent cutting performances with an eco-friendly character.
Q8Oils has launched Q8 Brunel, its latest revolution in water soluble machining and grinding fluids. The Q8 Brunel range has been developed to out–perform all other fluids and has already been successfully tried and tested with manufacturers across Europe. It is formulated to be fully compliant with latest European industry legislation providing a range of products that are free from boron, boric acid, chlorinated paraffin, secondary amine, formaldehyde releasing biocides and nitrites.
