Case Studies

Performance Machine Technologies, a California-based manufacturer of semiconductor components, faced significant challenges with the performance of their existing metalworking fluid. In operations such as turning, grooving, drilling and cutoff of 15-5 stainless steel parts, the company was forced to use the coolant at a concentration of 45% to achieve the desired tool life and surface finish. Compounding the issue, the fluid produced excessive foam and failed to maintain machine cleanliness, contributing to unpleasant odours throughout the facility.

In search of a more effective metalworking fluid, Performance Machine Technologies was introduced to HyperSol 888NXT from Master Fluid Solutions. This advanced neo-synthetic formulation offers exceptional versatility and delivers outstanding performance even at standard concentrations, drastically extending tool life. It is engineered to produce minimal foam and odour, ensure extended fluid life and comply with the most stringent environmental regulations. HyperSol 888NXT is redefining standards in the coolant industry, providing superior lubricity.

Following a 30-day trial of TRIM HyperSol 888NXT, Performance Machine Technologies reported highly satisfactory results. Thanks to the fluid's superior performance, it was successfully operated at a concentration of just 10% - a remarkable 75% reduction compared to the previous coolant. In addition, the transition to HyperSol 888NXT completely eliminated foaming issues and significantly improved machine cleanliness. The overall plant environment also benefited, with a noticeable reduction in unpleasant odours.
