What are the advantages using ester- or vegetable oils?
– The high polarity of these products allows high wetting of the cutting zone and gives excellent lubrication. – Compared to mineral oils of similar viscosity, they have a much smaller tendency to create oil mist and vapour. This results in lower consumption and a cleaner working environment. – Their composition is similar to the protective layer of the skin, therefore they have better compatibility than mineral oil. – They are produced from renewable material and are therefore more environmentally friendly.
