The Challenge


The manufacturer was in search of an overall better coolant solution to enhance their machining performance and operator experience. They faced persistent issues with excessive foaming and unpleasant odors during operation, which affected workplace comfort. Additionally, the lack of shine machined parts did not meet their desired standards.

MotulTech's Solution


MotulTech recommended SAFKOOL 1044 P, a high-performance long life semi-synthetic fluid designed for ferrous and selected non-ferrous metals. With strong cooling properties, corrosion inhibitors, EP additives, and biocides, it effectively addressed foaming and smell issues while improving tool life and sump stability.

The Outcome

The sump life was significantly extended, reducing the need for frequent fluid replacement and maintenance. No smell or skin irritation was reported, enhancing overall comfort and workplace safety. Oil consumption dropped by 25% annually, leading to a notable contribution to a total annual saving of up to $15,000 USD.
