Metal Cutting Coolants
Metal Cutting Coolants are specialized fluids designed to reduce heat, friction, and wear during metal machining processes. They improve cutting efficiency, tool life, and surface finish while preventing corrosion.
When machines run hot, precision suffers. Our metal cutting coolants turn up the cooling, dial down the friction, and push tool life way beyond ordinary. Best surface finish. Less wear. Reliable cutting. That’s how we transform metalworking into high performance.
Explore our premier soluble cutting oils, engineered to deliver outstanding cooling, lubrication, and corrosion protection in machining and metalworking operations. These emulsifiable fluids mix seamlessly with water to form stable emulsions, enabling superior heat dissipation, reduced tool wear, and cleaner surface finish in turning, milling, drilling, sawing and more.
Our range includes formulations like Palkut SL and Palkut SL Pro, each designed for specific performance needs—whether you require high-emulsion stability, low foaming, prolonged sump life, or enhanced corrosion control. When paired with best practices like proper mixing, water quality control, and regular monitoring, they offer excellent value and reliability for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Discover our high-performance Synthetic Cutting Fluids, engineered to meet the demands of modern precision machining without compromise. Completely oil-free, these water-based fluids deliver outstanding cooling, superior lubrication (via advanced polymers and additives), and long-term corrosion protection. They resist bacterial and fungal contamination, reduce foaming, and maintain stable performance even in hard water environments.
Ideal for high-speed milling, grinding, turning, tapping, and drilling, our synthetics ensure sharp tool life, excellent surface finish, and reduced maintenance. With Palco’s synthetic fluids, you get reliable, eco-friendly solutions that cut costs and keep your machines running clean and efficient.
Looking for fluid that cuts heat and keeps your tools sharp? Our Semi-Synthetic Cutting Fluids deliver exactly that. They give you smooth lubrication like oils, cool like synthetics, and protect against rust and bacterial growth—all in one.
Whether you’re doing heavy milling, precision grinding, drilling, or CNC work, Palco’s semi-synthetic fluids help you reduce wear, improve finishes, and save on maintenance and fluid replacement. Performance you trust, cost you’ll like.
When your machining demands are high—tight tolerances, hard metals, long runs—you need cutting oils that go to work without cutting corners. Our Neat Cutting Oils deliver heavy lubrication and protection, even when cooling is minimal, making them perfect for gear cutting, tapping, and broaching.
Because they’re used undiluted, they avoid issues of dilution, foaming or emulsification breakdown. The result is smoother finishes, less downtime replacing tools, and greater consistency job after job.
What are Metal Cutting Coolants?
Metal cutting coolants, also known as cutting fluids & Metalworking Fluids, are specialised liquids used in metalworking processes like machining to cool the cutting tool and workpiece, reduce friction, and remove chips from the cutting area, essentially allowing for smoother and more efficient cutting operations while extending tool life; they are typically a mixture of water, oil, and additives designed for specific metal types and machining applications.
Uses of Metal Cutting Coolants
Cooling
Dissipate heat generated during cutting, preventing overheating of the tool and workpiece.
Lubrication
Create a lubricating film between the cutting tool and the workpiece, reducing friction and wear.
Chip removal
Flush away metal chips from the cutting zone, preventing them from re-cutting or sticking to the tool.
Corrosion protection
Protect the machined surface and cutting tool from rust and corrosion.
Improved surface finish
Contribute to a smoother and more accurate surface finish on the machined part.
Applications of metal cutting coolants
Metal cutting coolants are used in various machining operations to enhance performance and efficiency. Some key applications include:
Turning Operations:
Turning is a machining process where a cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to create cylindrical shapes. It is widely used in manufacturing shafts, rods, and other round components. Metal cutting coolants help reduce heat buildup, prevent tool wear, and improve the surface finish of the turned parts. Proper coolant selection ensures high precision and longer tool life.
Milling Operations:
Milling is a machining process that involves the use of rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece. It is used to produce flat surfaces, slots, and complex shapes. Metal cutting coolants play a crucial role in milling by preventing heat accumulation, reducing tool wear, and improving machining efficiency. They also aid in chip removal and ensure smooth surface finishes.
Drilling Operations:
Drilling involves creating cylindrical holes in metal workpieces using a rotating drill bit. The use of metal cutting coolants in drilling operations prevents overheating, enhances tool life, and ensures precision hole-making. Coolants also help in flushing out metal chips, preventing clogging, and reducing friction between the tool and workpiece.
Boring Operations:
Boring is a machining process used to enlarge existing holes to precise dimensions and achieve tight tolerances. Metal cutting coolants assist in cooling and lubrication, reducing friction and minimizing tool deflection. They help in maintaining hole accuracy and surface quality, making them essential in high-precision applications like automotive and aerospace industries.
Shaping Operations:
Shaping is a machining process where a single-point cutting tool moves in a reciprocating motion to cut away material from a workpiece. It is commonly used to create complex contours, grooves, and keyways on metal parts. The use of metal cutting coolants in shaping operations improves tool performance, reduces thermal distortion, and enhances surface quality.
