The demand of the tool grinding industry for high-performance grinding fluids with excellent air release and non-foaming properties led to the development of PolyGrind NT-US from oelheld. Benefits are elevated grinding performance, superior surface finish, improved wheel life with less redressing, enhanced filtration capabilities with higher flow levels and excellent temperature stability, according to the company.

Houghton International says its new semisynthetic metal-removal fluid platform is based on a new technology for machining and grinding that provides significant performance and environmental benefits. HOCUT 4440 is the first product to be introduced from the new platform, delivering a cutting edge metalworking fluid for automotive, general machining and grinding applications.

Bio-Circle, a division of Walter Surface Technologies, announced the launch of three new bio-renewable parts cleaning systems to its portfolio of products: CleanBox Compact S, CleanBox Maxi and the CleanBox Mega. These systems bring Bio-Circle's eco-innovation to larger industrial parts washing processes.

Increased temperatures which signal the start of spring are welcomed by workers—but can wreak havoc with sensitive electronics. As ambient temperatures rise, so does the temperature inside of electrical enclosures, causing problems for sensitive components like sensors, solenoids, relays and PLCs .

EcoLine cutting fluid from Cortec Corp. retains its integrity after numerous freezing and thawing cycles, according to stability tests conducted at the company's laboratory. The fluid was tested for reduction in product effectiveness and observed for changes in thickness and odor, as well as other abnormalities.

Due to pending regulations regarding the use of chlorinated paraffins in metalworking fluids, Condat Copr. has introduced a high-performance, chlorine-free cutting oil. The new Condacut DP 415 uses innovative EP additives with an inactive sulphur-based chemistry. The unique formulation provides positive characteristics for all types of machining applications but was specifically designed for screw machining process.

Ransohoff has introduced its TT-180 Ransobotic Washer, a robotic parts washing unit that brings speed, precision and efficiency to precision parts washing operations. The TT-180 features robot-operated spray nozzles, precision worktable and powerful controls and programmability to deliver cycle times of as little as 30 seconds to reduce operating costs for even complex parts as large as 12" square and weighing up to 40 lbs.

Heat-treating contractors, metalforming shops and companies from the automotive and aircraft industries in particular require cost-efficient part cleaning and degreasing equipment capable of handling high capacities. Addressing this demand, Dürr Ecoclean has developed an innovative solvent-based cleaning system, the large-chamber EcoCDuty.
