Henkel Corp. has introduced two new water-soluble Multan metal removal lubricants formulated to generate minimal foam and to be used continuously for years with minimal biological degradation. Both Multan B 236 and B 414 are semi-synthetic metal removal fluids for machining and grinding ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. These lubricants are designed for applications where soft water or process requirements make foam control difficult. Suitable for most water conditions and multi-metal applications, Multan B 236 offers performance on cast iron and steel, which require rapid cooling, corrosion protection and moderate lubrication. As this fluid rejects tramp oil, it maximizes fluid life without using routine additives. Offering all the process advantages of Multan B 236, Multan B 414 also contains more oil and is formulated with additional extreme pressure additives. It can be used in most water conditions and will act as a universal lubricant on soft metals and more exotic alloys such as aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, inconel, brass or copper.
