You can lose much more than just efficiency when using mineral-based lubricants

Continuing to use mineral-based lubricants can cost far more than just a loss of efficiency. Modern machining processes are moving decisively toward biodegradable lubricants derived from renewable sources and innovative polymer-based “non-oil” solutions.
Why choose biodegradable and polymer-based lubricants?
The transition to these new technologies is not only an ethical choice aimed at protecting the environment and the health of workers, but also a strategy designed to optimize costs and production times:
- Health and Safety: Drastically reduces oil mist and fumes, ensuring a healthier work environment that complies with current regulations.
- Simplified Post-Processing: Polymer-based lubricants leave minimal residue on the component, which can be easily removed with plain water, without the need for harsh chemical degreasers.
- Direct Welding: Polymer residues can often be welded over. This means that welding or other assembly operations can be performed immediately after processing, completely eliminating the need for a preliminary cleaning step.
- Reduced Disposal Costs: The use of bio-based and polymer-based products simplifies wastewater management and reduces your workshop’s environmental impact.
