Blaser Swisslube features metalworking fluids designed to address challenging applications while lowering overall production costs.

The Skytec family of products was developed by a team of experts including chemists, engineers and application technicians, and tested by machine tool builders and aerospace OEMs. Vasco Skytec H 600 draws on the plant-ester-based Vasco range, and B-Cool Skytec 500 on the mineral-oil-based B-Cool range. Both are designed to significantly extend tool life without risking expensive aerospace parts. 

These Skytec metalworking fluids are well suited for titanium machining because they minimize tool wear and reduce the number of tool changes without compromising process reliability. They are also suitable when machining aluminum, steel and nickel-based alloys. The fluids perform without foam even in high-pressure systems greater than 1,000 psi.

B-Cool Skytec 500 is optimized for long-term, stable use in coolant reclamation and aluminum chip briquetting systems. The remaining coolant from the chips can be filtered and reused without the need for tank-side additives, which provides additional value and sustainability benefits.
