Case Studies

The precision manufacturer experienced several issues with a competitor's coolant. The existing coolant was expensive, increasing operational expenses that affected the company’s overall profitability. The competitor's coolant failed to meet the desired surface finish, compromising the quality of their machine's parts. Additionally, the excessive foam generated by the coolant caused operational disruptions, as it needed constant attention and maintenance to mitigate foam-related issues.

Desperate for a solution, the manufacturer sought expert advice from Master Fluid Solutions. A representative from Master Fluid Solutions conducted a thorough audit of the manufacturer’s operations, carefully assessing their machining processes, operational challenges, and goals. Based on the audit findings, the representative recommended a trial of TRIM C350. C350 is a synthetic metalworking fluid optimized for the aerospace industry's chemical, environmental, and machining requirements. C350 is a high-performance, easy-to-use, and maintain cutting fluid. The combination of the proven synthetic polymer technology and non-chlorinated EP package produces very high levels of usable lubricity at the point-of-cut.

Following the trial period and the adaptation of C350, the manufacturer experienced significant improvements in their machining operations. The manufacturer achieved a remarkable 15% reduction in total costs, primarily attributed to the cost-effectiveness of C350. This reduction positively impacted the company’s profitability and competitiveness in the industry. C350’s superior lubricity and chemical properties significantly improved the surface finish of the manufacturer’s machined parts, meeting the industry's stringent standards. Additionally, the new coolant addressed the issue of excessive foam, reducing the need for constant maintenance and enabling more efficient operations.
