Clean and sustainable machining
Author: Martin Desinger, Business Development Manager, Lubricants, Europe, at Henkel Adhesive Technologies.
Henkel’s Bonderite duaLCys process, where lubricant-cleaner synergies raise performance, save energy, cut waste and improve working conditions. Henkel has a long history of providing value added cleaners and lubricants for over 100 years. The company is present across the metal working value chain leveraging its strength in cleaners to complement its strong presence in water miscible lubricants.
Bonderite duaLCys is a new Henkel formulated technology that provides cleaner running machines when in operation and lower maintenance costs. The Bonderite duaLCys process is a unique system in the area of machining and in-process cleaning for the metalworking market which utilises the synergy of recycling the in-process cleaner into the water soluble cutting fluid. The process is a perfect symbiosis between cleaner and lubricant, providing high lubricity, superior part cleanliness and excellent corrosion protection.
In the automotive industry, the process can provide a competitive edge to automakers, automotive-suppliers and other machining companies alike by providing a more cost-effective, sustainable process for the manufacture of metal parts such as steering components, axles, gearboxes, pistons, engine blocks / parts, etc.
Cleaning fluid is recycled In the Bonderite duaLCys process, the cleaning fluid is recycled into the lubricant bath, rather than being sent to waste. Operations switching to the new system will use less product, additives, water and energy. The new system, which features pre-cleaning during machining, offers low-foam, low-temperature cleaning, cooling and lubricating performance and corrosion protection.
Machining tools last much longer in operations using Bonderite duaLCys, thanks to its superior cleaning capability as well as much higher lubricity compared to rival products. The addition of a cleaner with lubricity capability into Henkel’s ultra-finely dispersed lubricant gives the blend unrivalled properties. Operations can save as much as 40% in consumables, and lubricant drag-out can be reduced by as much as 70%.
