When we imagine a mechanical workshop, we generally and usually think about dirt.<\/p>\n
Oil and grease that infest every machine and from which you risk being “dirtied”, if you are not careful.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, workshops are considered a source of pollution because of the lubricants used for mechanical processing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This was probably also true in the past and certainly it is the same in some countries where green regulations aren\u2019t yet as well implemented as in Western countries!<\/p>\n
Anyway, we would like to point out that in our country it is no longer conceivable to work in certain sectors without guaranteeing the respect of sustainability rules.<\/p>\n
Even in our company we started being committed in this way many years ago.<\/p>\n
The interventions were in various areas, all essential to guarantee production in compliance with the regulations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today we talk about the lubricating-cooling oils that we have been using for several years now.<\/p>\n
These coolants, which can be defined as green, are vegetable-based cutting oils, formulated with raw materials from renewable and biodegradable sources.<\/p>\n
But what are the main advantages of these cooling lubricants?<\/p>\n
Here are some:<\/p>\n
– no more mineral oil mists containing carcinogenic substances;<\/p>\n
– better surface finishes and extended tool life;<\/p>\n
– absolutely non-toxic, biodegradable products, obtained from renewable raw materials and without exposure and explosiveness limits, therefore exempt from the R.E.A.C.H. regulation;<\/p>\n
– very high flash point and very low volatility<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All for the benefit of: hygiene, health, safety, reduced consumption.<\/p>\n
These advantages are unthinkable with traditional mineral-based oils.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With these new lubricating-cooling oils we wanted to think about the green impact, but also about the health of the operators who spend more than 40 hours a week on these machines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These oils also bring these significant advantages:<\/p>\n
1.Eliminate PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) present in mineral-derived oils which pose carcinogenic risks (in particular Benzo-a-pyrene).<\/p>\n
2.Reduce the formation of oil mists.<\/p>\n
3.Use raw materials without exposure limits (5mg\/m3 for mineral oils)<\/p>\n
