Slide Way Lubricants are a circulating oil developed for use in lathes and heavily loaded machine tool slideways. Slide Way Lubricants are specially formulated to prevent stick-slip problems to ensure good surface finish on the machined part.
Slide Way Lubricants are formulated with a special tackifier additive that allows machine tool carriages to start easily and move smoothly throughout their travel, thus preventing stick-slip problems. This reduces carriage chatter and ensures a smooth finish on the machined part. Slide Way Lubricants mild extreme-pressure properties prevent scoring of the slideways during carriage travel. The tackifier improves adhesion and prevents the oil from being squeezed off the slideways. Slide Way Lubricants also helps prevent the oil from being washed away by cutting fluids. Additional additives provide protection against rust and corrosion and allow optimum coolant separation.
