WATER-MISCIBLE CUTTING FLUIDS FOR METALWORKING OPERATIONS
In manufacturing today, the demands made on cutting fluids have increased enormously. As part of the Industry 4.0 concept, the entire added-value chain of people, machines, logistics and cutting fluids should be interlinked and optimized to achieve largely self-organizing production with the help of advanced IT and communications technologies. For this, cutting fluid measurement data must be accessible online, evaluated and corresponding adjustments made. For measured data to be accurately analyzed, high stability cutting fluids are essential.
Innovative Materials
In today’s world of automotive manufacturing, cast iron is being increasingly replaced by lighter aluminium alloys and tungsten–coated tools offer greater economies in highly–developed machining processes. Products in the 21st century demand very close manufacturing tolerances and the shortest possible manufacturing times.
Advanced Products
FUCHS – the global leader in the field of specialty lubricants – offers innovative cutting fluids for sophisticated processes in automotive industries such as the machining of crankcases, crankshaft grinding or the honing of critical bearing surfaces.
Safe, economical and sustainable in use
FUCHS is the specialist for metalworking operations.Our water-miscible cutting fluids are safe and reliable and fulfil all legislative requirements so that their use can be judged to be almost risk-free. The sustainability of our ECOCOOL products was factored into their formulation. FUCHS cutting fluids thus
offer long service life.
FUCHS cutting fluids are:
This means more than just workshop safety for ECOCOOL users. ECOCOOL lubricants are also extraordinarily long-life and economical. This lowers operating, maintenance and disposal costs. In addition, the carefully selected ingredients increase skin compatibility even at high pH values.
Optimum Technical Properties
FUCHS cutting fluids fulfil the technical requirements and make machining operations more efficient. ECOCOOL products guarantee:
For the ECOCOOL user, this means more process reliability, more effective and efficient staging and less expensive machine down time.
Available throughout the world
Our customers are located throughout the world and our cutting fluids are available where they are. This means that all raw materials must be registered and comply with chemical regulations in the respective
countries. FUCHS offers water-miscible cutting fluids under the name ECOCOOL GLOBAL which can be manufactured anywhere in the world with the same formulation. This allows users to pursue globally-harmonized manufacturing processes with the same fluids.

The complete Forming Lubricants programme from the Specialists
The manufacturing of cold formed parts involves a large number of complex steps. These steps are independent on each other and carefully matched. And in particular, the lubricants used have to guarantee optimum compatibility throughout the process. Crosscompatibility is constantly monitored in our own, state-of-the-art research facilities and laboratories. This guarantees a reliable process chain starting with cleaning, to metalworking, through to corrosion protection.
As well as constant monitoring, we regularly add new products to our program. Apart from conventional products and solutions, we also offer products which conform to environmental regulations. Decades of experience, far-reaching know-how, global approvals from leading manufacturers and our local experts make our product program unique for safety and reliability, for efficiency and cost savings. They represent a promise – Technology that pays off.
