Anti-Mist Technologies

Worker exposure to metalworking fluid mists during operations has been associated with allergic reactions and respiratory illnesses. Additionally, metalworking fluid mist creates potential housekeeping hazards, undesirable working environments, and faces potential regulatory scrutiny from governmental agencies. Alleviation of mist-related problems is one of the greatest challenges for the metalworking fluid industry today.

Lubrizol’s ADDCOTM  LoMist technology is the leading chemical solution to help control metalworking fluid mist levels in aqueous systems. This field-proven solution is a valuable tool to use for a total mist control program.

Slideway Lubricants

Lubrizol slideway lubricant additive technology eliminates stick-slip issues in machine tool operation, and ensures good compatibility with the metalworking fluids used in the same equipment.

Heat Treating / Quenching

Quenching additive packages and components control the cooling rate of metals in oil baths. By controlling the cooling rate in quenching operations, the final properties of the metal parts can be influenced with regard to strength, hardness, brittleness, and dimensional stability.

Anti-Foam Additives

Lubrizol anti-foam additives are specially engineered for maximum compatibility with metalworking fluids, promoting a long lasting effectiveness at controlling problematic foam that disrupts proper fluid performance.
