Water Miscible Fluids

Shell is certain to have a coolant for your metalworking operation and the metals that you machine.

Shell water miscible metalworking fluids are designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s manufacturing operations and address common concerns such as tool life, surface finish, coolant odour and dermatitis. These fluids are ideal for use in machining operations where cooling is of utmost importance for high speeds and feed rates, and where reduction in oil misting is required.

Shell has a strong commitment to safety and to the environment. As a result, Shell does not use the following constituents in our metalworking fluids: DEA, Nitrates, Nitrides, Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffin, Barium and Phenols.

Synthetic Fluids : Shell Metalina range

Micro emulsion : Shell Adrana range

Macro emulsion : Shell Sitala range

Soluble Oils : Shell Dromus range

Form clear solutions when mixed with water

• Fully synthetic fluids provide excellent cooling

• Clear solutions provide easier monitoring of tools and parts

• Provides a high degree of cleanliness for machines, parts and systems

• Rapid settling of metal fines and excellent filterability

• Readily rejects tramp oils for easy removal and recycling

Form stable, translucent emulsions when mixed with water

• Provides effective cooling and excellent lubricity

• Yields high surface finish in a variety of operations

• Long sump life due to high resistance to biological activity and rejection

of tramp oil

• Provides a high degree of cleanliness for machines, parts and systems

Form stable emulsions when mixed with water

• Versatility of applications and metals

• Provides excellent lubricity due to high oil content and additives

• Excellent performance in tough operations

• Excellent corrosion protection

• Resistant to bacterial growth, aiding the elimination of fluid odours

Form emulsions when mixed with water

• High oil content for excellent lubricity in machining and grinding operations

• Versatility of applications and metals

• Protects against corrosion of machine tools and manufactured parts
