EVN Grinding Oil

Line of Environmentally Friendly Grinding Oil

EVN provides additional benefits over normal grinding oils. Its combination of low viscosity (5.4 cSt) coupled with a high flash point (370 degrees F) is not possible in petroleum based products. That means that EVN improves flushing, which helps grinding performance while also providing the increased safety features.
