Micro-Emulsion Metalworking Fluids
Micro-Emulsion metalworking fluids are a class of semi-synthetic metalworking fluids formulated to gain the benefits of the cooling properties of synthetics and the lubricity of soluble oil in coolants. The chemistry provides very small droplet sizes of the oil which provides great lubricity in medium to heavy duty machining on materials such as stainless steel.

We Don’t Sell These Products, But Maybe We Should
In past blog posts and email newsletters, we have written about the importance of monitoring Coolant Concentration. The following video is a commercial for Atago, a company that manufactures refractometers.
Practical Information on Synthetic Coolants
Synthetic Coolants are a class of metalworking coolants that do NOT contain oil. Formulations include additives to provide lubricity, prevent rusting, control foam, and control or prevent microbial growth.
Water Soluble Fluids for Heavy Duty Applications
Monroe Fluid Technology has two ‘workhorse’ water soluble oil concentrates, designed specifically for the demands of heavy duty machining applications. Where a chlorinated additive is specified, our Astro- Sol C HD is recommended. In circumstances where a chlorinated additive may not be suitable, we offer Astro-Sol A-XBP. Both are low foaming products, suitable for virtually all metals and applications, and are designed to resist bio-degradation.
Dirty Heavy Equipment? We Have The Solution
Keeping your equipment clean is not just for appearance’s sake. Dirt and dust love to cling to oils, greases, hydraulic fluid, and those mixtures can act like sandpaper, which can cause machine failures. We can help you deal with it.
