TECHNOFLUID CUTTING OIL
Metal Working Fluid
TECHNOFLUID Cutting Oil is a high-performance metal working fluid formulated to provide effective lubrication, cooling, and surface protection during machining operations.
Manufactured using selected high-quality base oils and advanced additive technology to ensure superior cutting performance.
Designed to reduce friction and heat generation at the cutting zone, thereby improving tool life and machining accuracy.
Available in soluble and neat (straight) cutting oil variants to suit a wide range of machining applications.
Ensures clean operation with stable performance over extended service life.
Key Benefits
Excellent lubricity reduces tool wear and improves surface finish of machined components.
Effective heat removal minimizes thermal distortion during machining.
Superior anti-wear and extreme pressure properties support heavy-duty cutting operations.
Good emulsion stability (for water-soluble grades) ensures consistent performance.
Provides effective rust and corrosion protection to machined parts and machine components.
Operator-friendly formulation with low odor and minimal misting.
Reduces tool breakage, rejects, and overall machining costs.
Applications
Recommended for a wide range of metal machining operations including:
Turning, milling, drilling, and boring
Grinding operations
Tapping and threading
Suitable for machining of:
Mild steel and carbon steel
Alloy steels
Cast iron
Selected non-ferrous metals (as applicable)
Widely used in automotive, engineering, fabrication, and metal processing industries.
Typical Uses
General-purpose machining operations requiring reliable lubrication and cooling.
Medium to heavy-duty cutting where improved tool life and surface finish are critical.
CNC and conventional machine tools.
Operating Characteristics
Maintains stable viscosity and lubricating film under operating conditions.
Compatible with commonly used machine tool materials and seals.
Can be applied by flood, spray, or central lubrication systems (as applicable).
