CUT-MAX® 900 SERIES SAFE-STRONG-ECONOMIC
INNOVATIVE SAFER CUTTING OILS
Safer
Aromatic-free + higher flash T°
Low VolatilityDue to the very even molecular structure of the synthetic base oil the volatility of the Cut-Max 900 series is comparable to oils with much higher viscosity. This will significantly improve the plant environment.High Viscosity Index
High VI (viscosity index) lets the oil pass faster through the filters and has higher lubricity at the high temperature on the cutting edges. This is strong feature for faster machining.
Better Cooling
Releases air trapped, preventing foam & air bubbles.
Higher Productivity & Tool Life
Improved cooling allows faster process, preventing thermal damages on parts & tools.
High Detergency
Thinner oil film on the parts, more simple to be cleaned off. Less consumption, thinner film on parts and chips. Clean machines, better monitoring of the process through clean windows.
More Economic
Less mist and lower loss evaporation + lower density (less electricity for pumps).
