Unist Coolube^® and MQL: The Future of Metal Cutting Fluid

These days, “going green” is a concern for many manufacturers and implementing Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) with Unist Coolube^® is an easy step in that direction. MQL is the process of applying minute amounts of high-quality lubricant directly to the cutting tool/work piece interface instead of using traditional flood coolants. MQL minimizes your environmental impact by significantly reducing fluid usage and eliminating the need for coolant treatment and disposal. These benefits are multiplied further when using 100% biodegradable Coolube^® lubricants which are formulated from renewable plant-based oils. When considering these facts along with the performance benefits of Coolube^® and MQL, it becomes obvious that this is the future of metal cutting fluid!

What Makes Coolube^® Unique?

Using the right lubricant is very important in MQL applications. The perfect lubricant will adhere to the surface of the tool and provide a thin, low friction barrier between the cutting tool and work piece. Studies have shown that Coolube^® has superior properties which make it an ideal lubricant. Coolube’s^® polar properties create a strong consistent bond between Coolube^® and metallic surfaces. This creates an even, strong, and durable layer of lubrication. Coolube^® reduces friction 50% better than typical mineral oils preventing heat buildup and resulting in longer tool life and a superior cut finish.

The Unist Coolubricator^™ is the ideal Minimum Quantity Lubrication solution for all continuous metal cutting applications such as sawing, drilling, milling, etc.. The Coolubricator^™ features continuous delivery of lubricant in a highly adjustable spray allowing you to dial-in the correct amount of lubrication for your cutting process.

Unist’s MQL spray technology not only leaves your shop cleaner, but helps your tools cut cooler, last longer, and produce more good parts. By precisely metering and dispensing Unist Coolube^® lubricant oil at the cutting tool/work piece interface, you greatly reduce friction at the cut and ultimately save money.

Stop getting cutting lubricant all over your machines, tools, and floors!
