Fluids for Machining Applications
When precision and performance are non-negotiable in machining applications, the right fluids make all the difference. Skilled manufacturers understand that the choice of fluid directly influences the efficiency and quality of the machining output. High-performance coolants, characterized by features like extreme pressure additives, are indispensable for reducing friction and wear, enhancing tool life, and achieving a superior surface finish on the final product.
These coolants are formulated with properties that effectively manage heat buildup, are crucial for maintaining dimensional accuracy, and exhibit excellent thermal conductivity for optimal temperature control. Additionally, they offer corrosion resistance to protect the finished piece and machinery and incorporate properties to hinder bacterial growth and chemical stability, ensuring consistent performance across various machinery types. These combined characteristics are essential not only for improving the quality of work but also for prolonging the life of the coolant itself.

Each of these fluids is engineered to meet the specific demands of varied machining tasks, providing consistent results and durability.
Fluids for Stamping Applications
Stamping operations require lubricants that can endure the stress of deformation while protecting both the tooling and the workpiece. Galling of stamped parts, a common issue, can lead to defects in stamped parts and damage to tools. Fluids with superior lubrication properties address this by minimizing galling, resulting in cleaner stamping and prolonged tool life. Equally important is the surface finish quality of stamped products. Fluids that create a protective film reduce imperfections. Lastly, the continuous operation of stamping can significantly wear down dies, affecting both productivity and maintenance costs. Our high-performance stamping fluids overcome this by providing thorough lubrication to minimize friction-induced wear. An essential aspect of these fluids is their ability to form a protective layer between the tool and the workpiece, preventing material adhesion and surface flaws, thus contributing to consistently high-quality parts.
| Application | Fluid | Result |
| Severe Stamping Applications | Curtis Fluids 660 Lubricant | A non-chlorinated, water-soluble solution that ensures exceptional protection against rust. |
| Forming Applications | Curtis Fluids Synthetic Fluid 622 | Adapts to different severity levels easily, supporting a wide range of stamping activities. |
| Drawing and Forming Applications | Fortech Fluids Tech Draw Series | Designed for optimal surface preparation in subsequent drawing and forming operations, ensuring versatility and a high-quality finish. |
Fluids for Cleaning Applications
Maintaining the cleanliness of your machinery, parts and flooring is critical for operational efficiency.
In industrial maintenance, cleaning fluids are essential for removing stubborn residues without damaging surfaces or harming the environment. The ideal cleaning fluid combines strong degreasing power with a non-corrosive formula, ensuring machinery cleanliness and longevity while being eco-friendly.
