Functional fluids and lubricants.

Functional fluids & lubricants

Our natural oils and lubricating base fluids can be formulated to function with characteristics typically found only in synthetic-based fluids. Our lubricants offer high flashpoint, low pour point, low volatility, ease of emulsification, excellent boundary lubrication. These products can also be formulated to help manufacturers meet low-VOC regulations and develop more environmentally sensitive products.

Some typical applications include:
  • Multi-metal machining capability including stainless, CRS, aluminum
  • Biodegradable base oils suitable for chain and bar
  • High temperature processing fluids
  • Rolling oils and process oils
  • Machine lubricants
  • Spray and de-dusting oils
  • Low VOC, low viscosity base oils suitable for use a rust prevention fluids
