Coolant Maintenance & Tramp Oil Removal Products

Abanaki offers a variety of coolant maintenance products. Machining coolants are an essential part of metalworking operations, but they are often only used a short time before being discard. While coolant operates the process, it can come contaminated and cause a multitude of issues.

  • Smoke/Smog develops when cutting tools make contact with oil laden coolant.
  • A “rotten egg” smell is released from bacteria reacting with oil in coolant.
  • Employees are at increased risk for skin disorders, like dermatitis.
  • Coolant loses effectiveness to extend tool life.
  • Replacing coolant is expensive and causes machine downtime.
