Grinding, Sanding, and Finishing Lubricants for Glass

Apply these lubricants to abrasive belts and wheels to extend their life and improve ground glass surface finishes. They lubricate the abrasive surface for faster and easier cutting cycles. These sulfur-free lubricants won’t stain metal, so they can be used as general purpose grinding fluids. They are chlorine free for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern. Use at full strength.

Solid and Paste Milling, Drilling, and Turning Coolants

An alternative to nearly dry machining, apply these coolants to tools before milling and machining to reduce heat with minimal cleanup. They’re often used with shallow drilling, reaming, and tapping, as well as on saw blades. Remove from tools and work surfaces with alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, or a parts washer. They are chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and sulfur free. Use at full strength.

Coolant in a stick is solid. Touch it to cutting tools or work surfaces. Coolant in a jar is a paste. It can also be used as a bending and forming paste.

Grinding, Sanding, and Finishing Coolants

For general-purpose grinding, sanding, and finishing, these coolants prevent material from building up to ensure a high-quality finish and preserve tool life. All are sulfur free.

Water-based coolants won't leave an oily residue.

Dilute oil-based coolants with water. Mineral-oil-based coolants are economical for quick jobs and touch-ups. Semisynthetic-oil-based coolants are a mix of mineral and synthetic oil for extra lubricity and long-lasting performance.

Lubricants with chlorine resist high pressure and are for use with difficult-to-machine material, such as stainless steel and hard metal. Lubricants without chlorine can be used where chlorine waste disposal is a concern.

Long-Life Grinding, Sanding, and Finishing Coolants

Increase the time between coolant changes—wear-resistant properties allow these coolants to perform longer than standard grinding coolants. They prevent material from building up to ensure a high-quality finish and preserve tool life. Coolants inhibit bacteria growth to prevent foul odors. They are sulfur free. Dilute with water.

Mineral-oil-based coolants have chlorine additives to handle hard metal, such as stainless steel and titanium. Semisynthetic-oil-based coolants are a mix of mineral and synthetic oil for excellent lubricity and corrosion resistance. They’re chlorine free for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern.
