Rhenus Lub unveils new grinding oils based on GTL technology

These new oils fulfil all requirements and look set to become the preferred lubricants in modern manufacturing facilities in the long-term. The new products are particularly suitable for demanding processes such as grinding hard metals, gearing components and tools, and offer an effective combination of performance, innovation, and safety.

With excellent process stability, high lubrication performance and optimised foaming behaviour, the new professional GTL oils offer an ideal alternative to traditional products based on mineral oils, hydrocracked oils and polyalphaolefins (PAOs).

The aromatic-free GTL base oil means these oils are also highly recommended from a health perspective. Switching to the professional GTL oils is easy with the Rhenus Lub conversion service: The lubricant manufacturer keeps the process stable during replacement and enables a simple, no-risk changeover.

One crucial factor for this is the special formulation used in the new rhenus products and their properties: rhenus professional GTL oils have an extremely high flash point of over 200°C and favourable anti-fog properties, thereby increasing operational safety and eliminating the risk of fire. They have excellent separation and enable greater, more effective cooling of the workpiece, while machinery remains clean thanks to their excellent rinsing behaviour. The extremely low evaporation loss of the new products leads to reduced consumption, which in turn has a positive impact on costs. At the same time, the excellent foaming properties help to reduce wear on machining tools. Users can enjoy a considerably prolonged tool service life and additional cost savings.

The conversion service helps eliminate risk for customers switching to the professional GTL oils by providing support from the experts at Rhenus Lub.

This service ensures the required level of safety during process adjustments, as Meinhard Kiehl, director of marketing, product management at Rhenus Lub explained: "We have close links with industry and understand that companies need simplicity and safety in their manufacturing processes more than ever. If the process has run with stability once, operators are often unwilling to change. As a result, they may be using oils for which the new and powerful professional GTL oils would be a preferable alternative."

As a process expert, Rhenus Lub provides consultancy support for the switchover to GTL technology. "We work closely alongside customers during their switchover to our modern GTL products, thereby ensuring that there are no risks to our customers’ production process throughout," added Kiehl.

GTL oils are produced from a chemical process in which natural gas is converted into a synthetic and therefore particularly pure oil. The absence of mineral oil makes the new professional GTL oils especially future-proof. In addition to the grinding oils rhenus EHM 12 and rhenus EU 12 that are already available, Rhenus Lub is currently developing additional products based on the innovative GTL technology.
