An oil-free metalworking fluid, also known as a synthetic metalworking fluid having a designed particle size greater than 120 nanometers under dilution. The expansible particle size results in a substantial increase in lubricity that is suitable for heavy duty operations that were previously only possible with oil-containing products. Furthermore, this oil-free metalworking lubricant contains the positive attributes of products that optionally contain oil, including excellent corrosion inhibition and lubricity that allows heavy duty operation. |
