Twelve water-miscible and neat products covering cast iron, steel, aluminium and copper — cutting, grinding, drawing, tapping, wire EDM and cold forming. Diluted 1:10 to 1:20, worked at 5–10 % concentration.
Every fluid below is made in 20 L and 200 L packs. The working data is measured on the diluted emulsion, which is what actually reaches the cutting edge.

pH and corrosion results are measured at the stated dilution. Concentrate appearance is a green or pale-yellow clear liquid depending on product.
Add the concentrate to water, not water to concentrate, while stirring. Use deionised or municipal water — hard water above roughly 300 ppm as CaCO₃ will destabilise an emulsion and produce scum on the machine.
Recommended dilution 1:10 – 1:20; working concentration 5 – 10 %. Higher concentration gives more lubricity and better rust protection at higher cost.
Fully synthetic fluids carry no mineral oil, so they resist bacterial attack and stay clean in central systems — the trade-off is less lubricity on difficult aluminium operations. Emulsions (milky) carry mineral or synthetic base oil and give better finish on gummy aluminium and on tapping, but need more sump management.
One grease completes the range: a lithium complex product with a dropping point of 316 °C, evaporation of 2.66 % after 1 h at 200 °C, and pressure oil separation of 6.41 %. It is specified for high-speed, high-temperature and low-temperature bearing duty, and we also produce general-purpose, lithium, EP lithium-complex and MoS₂ lithium greases to the same standard.
Buying note. Metalworking fluids are the product most often bought on price and rejected on performance. If you are tendering for a machine shop, ask for the dilution stability and the cast-iron chip rust test at 3–4 % — those two numbers predict whether the sump will last a month or a quarter.
Concentrate ships in 20 L pails or 200 L drums. The label carries the dilution table and the hazard pictograms, because a machine shop will read them at the sump, not on a website.
Send the materials and operations you need to cover. We will propose the shortest fluid list that covers all of them, with dilution data.
