A coolant is a mineral based cutting fluid which is mixed with water. For decades, people have been using coolants to remove heat for various metal cutting operations with amazing benefits as explained below. Improving part quality Using cutting fluids reduces heat and friction. Removing the heat ensures that the work piece does not expand … Read more

A cutting fluid should have specific characteristics to be effective at cutting metal. Here are some of the major properties to look out for: Good heat transfer performance: This will reduce the amount of heat given off during cutting and therefore reduce the chances of accidental fires. It also ensures the metals will not be … Read more

Metal cutting fluid is used in metalworking and machining for different purposes, predominantly lubrication and cooling. It comes in various different forms including synthetic fluids, semisynthetic fluids, oils and soluble oils. Synthetic fluids are made of alkaline compounds and compounds that prevent corrosion. They are used in diluted water and are the premier product in … Read more

Metal working fluids are used to remove particles during grinding and machining procedures. They reduce the amount of heat and friction produced and can be referred to as metal cutting fluids. They are a powerful resource in the machine industry yet due to their complex chemical compositions, they require extra care and consideration when working … Read more

Routing aluminium can be tricky at the best of times, however if the routing cutter lubrication system is engineered correctly, then it is a breeze as can be seen by watching this video.

The Unist system employed here delivers 15 ml of Coolube 2210 per hour and directs it precisely onto the routing cutter.

In short, the benefits of Unist Coolube® with MQL are:

  1. Significantly increases blade and tool life.
  2. A cost effective conversion for all machine types.
  3. No waste – kind to the environment and no wasting money either
  4. More economical in the long run – using Coolube® preserves machine parts for longer and prevents rusting
  5. Clean – no more messy slip hazards from excess coolant oozing down machines and walk ways
  6. The MQL system dispenses precisely the amount of Coolube® needed. No more, and no less.
  7. Better for machine operators – no more dermatitis caused by skin contact with coolants.
  8. Coolube does not oxidise or go sticky.

Nowadays, many manufacturers are under pressure to “go green”. Unist Coolube® is one of the most advanced metalworking fluids available today. Implementing Minimum Quantity Lubrication (M.Q.L.), a no-waste dispensing system, with Unist Coolube® is an easy step to limit the environmental footprint of your manufacturing operation.

MQL is the process of applying minute amounts of high-quality metalworking fluid lubricant directly to the cutting tool or work piece interface instead of using traditional flood coolants. It minimises 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, *that is*, metalworking fluids 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 most advanced and responsible answer to running metal cutting and metal forming equipment.

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 build-up and resulting in longer tool life and a superior cut finish.

At Unist, we’ve been manufacturing green products long before the hype. Since 1957 to be exact.
With our recent USDA BioPreferred Program certification, everyone can see just how green our lubricant products are. These are the same non-toxic, environmentally friendly, green products we’ve been touting for years.
Nothing has changed but the USDA’s certification of our bio-based content through independent laboratory testing.

Unist Coolube® 2210 and 2210EP are both USDA BioPreferred products and are tested and certified biobased products. Coolube® 2210 is certified biobased with a renewable, biobased content of 93%. Coolube® 2210EP is a certified lubricant with a biobased content of 92%.This reinforces what we’ve know about Coolube all along:
it’s made from natural and renewable plant-based materials.

They’re still the same great lubricants that thousands of metalworkers have come to love and rely on
for improved cut quality and tool life. They just have new USDA feathers in their caps!

The world market is flooded with many kinds of metal working fluids. It has both trusted and suspicious brands. Working well with such fluids is easy if you follow simple guidelines. For instance, there are many companies that manufacture different classes of such fluids. Availability of cutting fluids does not imply quality or safety of … Read more

Metal working fluids (MFFs) refer to a collection of oils, together with other liquids used as coolants or lubricants when working with metal cutting processes. When milling, machining, or grinding metal work pieces, friction and heat develops between the cutting tool and the metal work piece, therefore you need certain oils and fluids in order … Read more

While any metal cutting fluid is good for work pieces, it may pose serious health concerns to your body. This happens when you come into contact, inhale or ingest the fluid. The risk depends on various factors such as personal hygiene and equipment maintenance. The severity of the health concern caused by the fluids depends … Read more

This moderately sized drill can be retrofitted onto medium to heavy duty style machines. It has an 8HP (@ 100% duty cycle!) BT-40 tool interface and up to 4000rpm. The machine will take up to 28mm diameter drills. Using latest tooling technology, this drill is designed to rapid drill holes in an unprecedented amount of time, thereby increasing your productivity. The drill head is fitted with a Unist Tornado system which delivers 10ml/hour of Coolube 2210 metal cutting oil, through the spindle and then through the tool to deliver “Near Dry Drilling”.

In short, the benefits of Unist Coolube® with MQL are:

  1. Significantly increases blade and tool life.
