Introduction to Coolube® and MQL
Coolube® is an advanced metal cutting lubricant designed to be environmentally friendly. It is used in Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) systems, which apply small amounts of lubricant directly to the cutting tool, reducing environmental impact by minimizing fluid usage and eliminating the need for coolant treatment and disposal. Coolube® is made from 100% biodegradable, renewable plant-based oils.

Unique Properties of Coolube®
Coolube® is distinguished by its ability to adhere to tool surfaces, creating a low friction barrier that reduces heat buildup and extends tool life. Its polar properties ensure a strong bond with metallic surfaces, outperforming typical mineral oils by reducing friction by 50%.

Environmental Impact
Coolube® is composed of natural, non-toxic, and renewable plant oils, free from petroleum, chlorine, and silicone, and does not produce harmful VOCs. It is biodegradable and has a long shelf life, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious manufacturers.

Benefits for Manufacturing Shops
Coolube® is safe for workers, preventing dermatitis, and improves shop safety by eliminating coolant spills. It is cost-effective, requiring only a few ounces per shift compared to gallons of traditional coolant, reducing costs associated with coolant filtering, testing, treatment, and disposal.

Economic Advantages
Using Coolube® can increase tool life, production speed, and chip recycling value while reducing housekeeping costs. It eliminates the need for coolant treatment and disposal, and its non-oxidizing properties prevent stickiness.

Product Variants
Coolube® is available in three formulations: 2210 for non-ferrous materials, 2210EP for ferrous materials, and 2210AL for aluminum and stainless steel. It is sold in various sizes, from quarts to 55-gallon drums.

Unist MQL Systems
Coolube® is most effective when used with Unist MQL systems, which feature precise air-operated metering pumps. These systems can deliver Coolube® in minimal quantities, enhancing productivity and tool life.

Conclusion
Coolube® offers a sustainable and efficient solution for metal cutting, providing significant environmental and economic benefits. For more information or to evaluate a Unist MQL system, contact Unist.
