Rhenus Lub has launched a new and innovative metalworking fluid for the metalworking industry. With its special formulation, the water-soluble synthetic product can optimise almost any process, whether that be milling, drilling, grinding or more demanding machining processes such as thread cutting or deep drilling. Its strengths are particularly beneficial in the semiconductor industry, for which a process approval has already been issued.
High stability and good service life make Rhenus TY 155 L a machine-friendly all-rounder. The clear metalworking fluid not only has excellent foam degradation but is also water-soluble and represents a particularly compelling option for materials that are prone to staining, including aluminium alloys. These special properties allow it to reduce material costs and shorten machining processes.
In the development of Rhenus TY 155 L, its compatibility with humans and the environment was a priority. The metalworking fluid features ‘good skin compatibility with a neutral pH value, and also has a pleasant odour’. This user-friendly product is declared as being in water hazard class 1 and is GHS (globally harmonised system of classification and labelling of chemicals) label-free, contains no boron, underlining its environmentally friendly qualities.
Dr Hans-Jürgen Schlindwein, head of product management MWF at Rhenus Lub, said: “With Rhenus TY 155 L, we have developed a mineral oil-free metalworking fluid that also meets the requirements of special, hard-to-machine materials and light alloys that are prone to staining.”
