    What are machining and grinding lubricants?

    They are specialized metalworking lubricants — fluids, oils, and additives used during machining to reduce friction, control heat, and extend tool life.
    We supply cutting fluids, grinding coolants, CNC coolants, machining fluids, and synthetic lubricants for ferrous and non-ferrous applications.
    Our tool life enhancement fluids reduce heat and wear, extending performance while improving surface finish.
    Yes. Blachford offers bio-stable lubricants that minimize bacterial growth, extend sump life, and reduce downtime.
    Absolutely. We offer EDM fluids, honing lubricants, and surface finish lubricants for high-precision machining and finishing processes.
    Yes. Our bio-stable lubricants and clean-running machining fluids minimize residue buildup, reduce sump changes, and extend service intervals — keeping production lines running longer between maintenance cycles.
    Absolutely. We offer safety-compliant cutting oils, grinding fluids, and CNC coolants that meet modern health and environmental standards, supporting cleaner operations and regulatory compliance worldwide.
