Rocol unveils next-gen cutting fluid to boost productivity and cut costs

TRI-Logic ATi has eliminated all previous rework and scrap incurred due to corrosion and staining on complex automotive components when cutting sensitive aluminium grades even after 100 hours of continuous machining.

Lights out machining can result in the metal surfaces discolouring and staining. The same high-pressure systems on long continuous run times greatly increase the risk of foaming and machine cutouts. With ATi, this all disappears for end-users.

The removal of staining has saved machine shops expensive man hours from having to rework parts, or worse case scrappage and missed delivery deadlines.

Furthermore, the optimised chemistry of Tri-Logic ATi now means that end-users can cut aluminium, titanium and stainless steel from one single sump.

Tri-Logic ATi achieves this without using the traditional boron, chlorine and secondary amine chemistries, and it is completely free from petroleum oils. As a result, our product has zero hazard labelling, meaning it is both operator and environmentally friendly.

Field trials at Brown and Holmes Tamworth Limited have delivered outstanding results with very positive feedback versus the traditional metalworking fluids used previously.

Jamie Barton, Product Sales Manager at Brown and Holmes added: “We’ve been working with ROCOL as a supplier for nine years now and continue to be impressed by their expert service and products. They beat our previous supplier on costs, service and sustainability with the team available on demand for any issues.

“We’ve been trialling the ATi product in our new filtration system and the early results are absolutely superb. There has been brilliant tramp oil separation, the process has been a lot more efficient, and the cleanliness of the coolant filtrating through the machine is really positive too. We're machining a multitude of materials, including aluminium, titanium alloys, steel and stainless steel and the product has performed well on all of them.”

ROCOL chemists place this product under its next generation of fluids and Tri-Logic ATi is a clear step change in technology and performance compared to what is available on the market today.

Tri-Logic ATi and subsequent products in the Tri-Logic range will ensure their customers can substantially increase their tool life while improving on surface finish.

Matthew Broderick, Product Manager at ROCOL, says: “We are excited to introduce the next generation of metalworking cutting fluids suitable for the aerospace and motorsport industries. TRI-Logic ATi will raise the bar on what a customer expects from the performance levels of their cutting fluid and is another example of our proud history in product innovation.

“For ROCOL, maintaining quality is at the heart of our sustainability approach. Through minimising waste and optimising material use, we can help customers drive long-term value. Today’s announcement is further proof that ROCOL is a market leader in offering customers more sustainable solutions.”

"TRI-Logic ATi sets a new standard in premium performance, delivering unparalleled quality and efficiency that our customers can rely on.”
