soluble oil

Soluble oil is a specially formulated mixture used mainly in metalworking and machining to cool and lubricate cutting tools and workpieces. It combines oil with water and emulsifiers, creating a stable, easily spreadable fluid that reduces heat and friction during manufacturing. This improves machining efficiency, extends tool life, and prevents metal damage. Because it forms an emulsion, soluble oil can be diluted with water, making it cost-effective and simple to manage. It’s an essential fluid in various industrial processes to ensure smooth operation and quality finishes.
