New grinding oils combine performance characteristics with innovation and safety

Called rhenus EHM 12 and rhenus EU 12, the company says that these new products are particularly suitable for demanding processes such as grinding hard metals, gearing components and tools, and offer an effective combination of performance, innovation, and safety.

With excellent process stability, high lubrication performance and optimised foaming behaviour, the new professional GTL oils offer an alternative to traditional products based on mineral oils, hydrocracked oils and polyalphaolefins (PAOs).

The aromatic-free GTL base oil means these oils are also recommended from a health perspective. Switching to the professional GTL oils is simple with the Rhenus Lub conversion service; the lubricant manufacturer keeps the process stable during replacement and enables a straightforward, no-risk changeover.

Users will not only benefit from optimised process costs compared to conventional comparator products, but due to a symbiosis of the new GTL technology and an intelligent additive combination, they are also able to improve performance in the long-term.

One crucial factor for this is the special formulation used in the new rhenus products and their properties. Rhenus professional GTL oils have an extremely high flash point of over 200°C and favourable anti-fog properties, thereby increasing operational safety and eliminating the risk of fire.

They have excellent separation and enable greater, more effective cooling of the workpiece, while machinery remains clean courtesy of efficient rinsing characteristics. The low evaporation loss of the new products leads to reduced consumption, which in turn has a positive impact on costs. At the same time, desirable foaming properties help to reduce wear on machine tools. Users can enjoy a considerably prolonged tool service life and additional cost savings.

The conversion service helps eliminate risk for customers switching to the professional GTL oils by providing support from the experts at Rhenus Lub. This service ensures the required level of safety during process adjustments, as Meinhard Kiehl, director of marketing, product management at Rhenus Lub, explained: "We have close links with industry and understand that companies need simplicity and safety in their manufacturing processes more than ever.

"If the process has been stable once, operators are often unwilling to change. As a result, they may be using oils for which the new and powerful professional GTL oils would be a preferable alternative."
