SYNTHETIC METALWORKING FLUIDS
Modern synthetic metalworking fluids have the ability to cool and lubricate more efficiently because they contain no mineral oil. These latest technology synthetic fluids provide the lubrication and other performance properties needed for a broad range of applications. Synthetics reject tramp oil extremely well, are very low foaming and create minimum mist. They are therefore very clean, with good bacterial resistance and operator and environmentally friendly.
FOXX® Extend SL
- A fully synthetic clear, low pH, metalworking fluid with technology that greatly improves machining and grinding performance and productivity by optimising lubrication and cooling functions.
- Can be used for heavy to severe grinding and machining (including deep hole drilling and roll form tapping on aluminium and some steels).
- FOXX Extend SL (Sump life/Lubricity) can be used on wrought aluminum alloys (2024, 6061, 7050, 7075), cast aluminum alloys (380, 390), cast iron, nodular iron, carbon steels, stainless steels, titanium and other exotic alloys. It should not be used on magnesium alloys.

SEMI-SYNTHETIC METALWORKING FLUIDS
These water-soluble fluid concentrates are a combination of synthetic fluids and up to 40% mineral oil. This hybrid technology has been well developed and has become the industry standard because they generally have the benefits of the mineral-based emulsions such as high lubricity & multi-material capability with the advantages of dramatically longer sump life, cleanliness & cycle visibility. Generally recommended for cost-effective general purpose medium to heavy-duty machining and grinding on ferrous and many non-ferrous metals.
