Fuchs' global aerospace team has developed Ecocool S761B, a soluble oil coolant for use in both ferrous and non-ferrous metalworking applications, primarily designed for machining hard metals such as titanium including Ti 6-4 and Ti-5553.
"An independent study, carried out at Warwick University, England, found Ecocool S761B to be the best-performing product in terms of tool wear, offering 100% better performance than Fuchs' closest competitor's product," said Fuchs.
Ecocool S761B has received approvals such as the Rolls-Royce CSS 129 and 131, Boeing BAC 5008 and Pratt & Whitney PMC 9346-1.
"The rigorous testing required for these approvals shows our fluid is capable of working in even the most demanding of conditions. It affirms that all the intensive research and hard work which has gone into developing this fluid has reached fruition," said Richard Rogers, Fuchs' European sector co-ordinator for aerospace.
