From metalworking fluids, such as soluble cutting fluids, and Neat Cutting Oils to corrosion preventatives, these provide really are ideal for every industrial as a direct result.

So, whether you need low-foaming cleaners for water-miscible fluids such as Synthetic & Grinding Cutting Fluids or high-performance additives for neat cutting oil and soluble cutting oil, there really is an option for you, over the wide range of options that can be tailored to your needs.

But how do you know the right one for you?
Well, let us dive into the world of Metalworking & Cutting Fluid System Cleaners & Additives and help you find the right product for your needs.

Then, if you are still not sure, our helpful customer service team is on hand to answer any questions you may have.

What are Metalworking & Cutting Fluid System Cleaners & Additives?

Definition: System cleaners and additives for metalworking are special fluids or chemicals used to clean, protect, and improve the performance of metalworking machines.

Here, these cleaners will tend to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria, while additives will help stop rust, reduce wear, and make the coolants work better overall.

These then keep the machines running smoothly while they extend your tool life and help to maintain high-quality metal parts all at the same time.

Wide Range of Cutting Fluid System Cleaners for Coolant Systems

Our cutting fluid system cleaners are specifically formulated to keep your coolant systems running at their best, but why?

Well, they are designed for compatibility with a variety of machining systems, as these cleaners effectively remove residues, oils, and contaminants that have built up to maintain the best machine performance possible for you.

So, whether you are using water-miscible fluids or straight oils, these products will give you outstanding results across diverse applications.

Hard Water and Other Varying Water Qualities

Suppose you also face challenges posed by hard water and other varying water qualities where you are based.

If you do, these system cleaners can then feature low-foaming properties, making them ideal for use in any environment as a result.

Boron-free Formulations

Additionally, these solutions can also incorporate boron-free formulations as well, giving you compliance with earth welfare products standards while still offering you exceptional corrosion protection and preventatives as they do so.

Engineered for heat transfer and extreme pressure conditions, these cleaners really can be the perfect choice for you to get long-term durability from your tools here.

Biocides in Cutting Fluid Systems

You can also choose fluids that have Biocides in them. These, often referred to as bactericides, are essential additives used to control microbial growth in metalworking fluids.

Over time, bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms can really thrive in these fluids, especially where water is present.

This then not only leads to unpleasant odours and slimy residues but can also break down the fluid itself, reducing its cooling and lubricating performance as a direct response.

As a result, if this is a concern, you should choose appropriate products here that also contain biocides, and also ones that have a low odour to them as well - as you effectively sterilise the system, stopping bacteria in their tracks and keeping the fluid stable for longer by doing so.

This means that you then get less downtime, a better tool life, and a healthier working environment as a result.

Furthermore, Biocides also help prevent blockages, rust, and corrosion caused by microbial contamination as well.

Compared to simply changing the fluid often, using a proper biocide solution really is a more efficient and cost-effective way for you to protect both your machines and your workforce as a direct result.

High-Performance Solutions for Metalworking Fluids

Our system cleaners are also optimised for working directly with metalworking fluids, ensuring that both water-miscible and straight oils are effectively maintained as a result.

They can do so as they minimise foam and improve heat transfer at the same time while also improving your machining systems’ efficiency and preventing downtime as well.

So, whether you are addressing the needs of a high-demand industrial process or general-purpose operations, these cleaners can really deliver you unmatched performance overall.

Comprehensive Additives for Industrial and Engine Applications

Then, on top of the cleaning fluids, you can really improve the performance of your industrial systems with our wide range of cutting fluid additives.

These have then been designed to improve the efficiency of both industrial gear lubricants and machine oils, as these products are perfect for improving the functionality of machining systems overall.

So, whether you require support for neat cutting oil, soluble cutting fluid, soluble metalworking fluids, or neat oils, our solutions offer unparalleled compatibility and effectiveness. There is an additive for you, and these can then consist of:

Bactericide Cutting Fluid Additive

This additive helps control bacteria growth in cutting fluids, keeping the system clean and extending the fluid’s life while also helping you to reduce unpleasant smells and improve your workplace hygiene at the same time.

Fast Drying No Residue Cleaner

A powerful cleaner that can evaporate quickly without leaving any residue.

This makes it ideal for cleaning machine parts before repairs or inspections, ensuring no sticky or oily film is left behind.

HD System Cleaner

This heavy-duty cleaner then removes built-up sludge, oils, and residues from your coolant systems.

As a result, it is designed for deep cleaning before a fluid change, helping you to maintain your peak system performance as a result.

Machine Tool System Cleaner

A specially formulated cleaner that flushes out grime and contaminants from your machine tools and coolant systems.

It is also ideal for you when you need to prepare the equipment for new fluids and helps to reduce future problems as well.

Machine Tool and System Cleaner

This all-in-one cleaner works on both individual machine tools and entire systems.

It also clears out debris, old coolant, and microbial build-up, improving your tool life and system efficiency in the process.

Non-Destructive Crack Detection System Kit

These are a complete kit for you to help find surface cracks without damaging the part as you do so.

It is used during safety checks to reveal hidden faults in metals, often with a dye penetrant and developer system as well.

Precision Crack Detection Developer Spray

This spray is also part of a crack detection system and draws out penetrant dye from surface cracks, making flaws a lot more visible.

It is also used in inspections where accuracy and clarity really are needed.

Silicone-Free Anti-Foam Additive

Here, these give you an additive that reduces foam build-up in your coolant systems without using silicone to do so.

It also keeps pumps running smoothly and prevents overflow or air blockages from occurring, making them safe for paint shop usage as well due to this.
