MICROLUBRICANT ML-450

MICROLUBRICANT ML-450 - USDA Certified Biobased Product - 98%

MICROLUBRICANT ML-450 is a naturally derived minimal quantity lubricant typically applied in “drops” to eliminate traditional flood coolant applications. MICROLUBRICANT ML-450 is ideally suited for near dry machining operations. MICROLUBRICANT ML-450 is an excellent choice for tough aluminum alloys, tool steels and super alloys. MICROLUBRICANT ML-450 is the ideal replacement for any operation using water dilutable coolants.
