Components used to help metalworking fluids (MWFs) fulfill their main function of reducing friction and wear are known as boundary lubricity additives. With such a wide variety currently available, multiple boundary lubricity additives are commonly used in a specific MWF to meet performance requirements. As companies move away from traditional boundary lubricity additives such as […]

Sustainability is an important topic for virtually every industry. What […]
Federal regulations to increase the fuel efficiency of jet and rocket engines continue to become more demanding. Protomatic, Inc., a manufacturer of space vehicle components for Blue Origin, is all too familiar with the challenges of continuous innovation while meeting these demands. The high-performance, super alloy metals required to manufacture today’s rocket engines mean that […]
AltaLUB® 5300 is a bio-based lubricant increasingly used by metalworking fluid formulators. Because it enables formulations to perform more consistently across a tool run, AltaLUB 5300 is a welcome addition to demanding applications like the cutting of carbon steel where tools undergo high stress, and the expense of machine repair and labor are high. This […]
