KSM, a supplier of industrial lubricants, is launching a new cooling lubricant concept under the name Aquaslide, which allows for clean and oil-free machining. This new water-based technology helps machining companies comply with the increasingly strict cleanliness requirements imposed by end customers. Recent tests at KSM partners in the high-tech industry reveal that the use of Aquaslide yields improvements on three fronts. Workpieces end up cleaner after treatment without molecular contaminants (HIO elements). The machines themselves become less contaminated and the work environment also remains cleaner and therefore safer. Aquaslide maximizes machining performance at the lowest cleaning cost in an environment that is clean and safe for operators.
