Machining & Metalworking
High-Performance Metal Working Fluids (MWFs) specifically formulated for the most difficult-to-machine metals and alloys. These synthetic fluorochemical-based machining fluids are non-flammable, easy to use, easy to clean, and do not require any special biocides. These fluids provide superior lubricity and cooling performance in the most demanding machining environments, delivering higher efficiency machining and throughput, reduced tool wear, and exceptional surface finish and superior quality metal components.
General Metalworking
Halocarbon Metal Working Fluids are specifically formulated to simplify the machining of refractory metals and alloys. These are materials primarily comprised of tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, or niobium, but can also contain other metals like titanium, rhenium, and nickel. Halocarbon MWFs can be used in traditional CNC machining operations, like milling, drilling and cutting of these materials, and also in the finishing processes of additively manufactured parts (post processing of 3D-printed components).
Aerospace & Defense
Halocarbon Metal Working Fluids are specifically formulated to enable the machining of difficult to machine metals and alloys that are used in high temperature and high strength materials within the aerospace industry. These are materials comprised of tungsten, molybdenum, or titanium, or high temperature alloys like Inconel and are used to manufacture heat-shielding or high stress structural components. In these applications, Halocarbon MWFs provide exceptional tool life, higher machining efficiency and throughput, and superior surface finish and quality when compared to conventional machining fluids and coolants.
Microelectronics
Halocarbon MWFs provide exceptional surface finish and quality in many microelectronics applications. These fluids are used for machining metals and alloys of tantalum and niobium and are used in applications such as wire-drawing for capacitors or low surface-roughness grinding and polishing of electronics-grade sputtering targets. Halocarbon metal working fluids can be used with conventional machining tools to achieve exceptional performance and throughput while minimizing tool wear and product defects.
Medical Devices
Halocarbon MWFs provide superior surface finish in the machining of tantalum and titanium parts, making them ideal for use in the fabrication of implant-grade medical devices and components, where tight tolerances and precision control over surface features are of importance. These fluids are chemically inert and do not require the use of a biocide, and can be easily cleaned from the finished component using conventional cleaning solvents and processes.
