Naftochem SYNTEK MQL 18 kg, metalworking oil for MQL Minimal Quantity Lubrication, near-dry lubrication, oil mist spray, synthetic ester oil, EP AW, anticorrosion protection, for steel copper brass aluminium

Naftochem SYNTEK MQL 18 kg is a metalworking oil designed for MQL (Minimal Quantity Lubrication), i.e., “near-dry lubrication” in machining. It contains selected functional additives that enable use in MQL processes and provides excellent wettability and anticorrosion protection for steel and non-ferrous metals. The product is based on a synthetic ester oil with low polarity and high oxidative stability.

Advantages and unique features

• Designed for MQL systems – helps significantly reduce lubricant consumption in the process.
• Excellent wettability and tool cleanliness during spray (oil mist) lubrication.
• Anticorrosion protection for steel and non-ferrous metals.
• “Label free” product – declared as harmless to human health and the environment.
• Free from mineral oils.
• Contains no water and is insoluble in water.
• Very good biodegradability.
• High flash point for improved operational safety.
• High thermal and oxidative stability, hydrolytically stable.
• EP/AW additives to reduce tool wear.
• High resistance to foaming.
• After evaporation it does not leave greasy stains; neutral odour.

FAQ

1) What is MQL and what is SYNTEK MQL used for?
MQL (Minimal Quantity Lubrication) is a process where a very small amount of lubricant is applied as an oil mist. SYNTEK MQL is designed for such systems.

2) How can the oil be supplied in an MQL system?
It can be supplied through the tool or via a nozzle system as spray/oil mist lubrication.

3) Which materials and operations is it suitable for?
For low-alloy steel, copper, brass and aluminium, as well as lapping, grinding, honing and belt polishing.

4) Does it contain water or mineral oils?
It is free from mineral oils, contains no water and is insoluble in water.
