At Adex we use metalworking fluid when we produce extrusion dies. We found an interesting article about a new metalworking fluid that we would like to share with you.
Total announced their new metalworking fluid: Folia. Folia is a water-based fluid and it is even free of emulsifiers and mineral oils. According to Total, Folia brings a few benefits for metalworking. Due to Folia the productivity will increase, tool life will become longer and operation costs will be lower. Because of Folia’s cooling power and lubricity the tool lifetime will be extended. This allows operators to manufacture larger parts in less time. Eventually, this will lead to a reduction of the tooling costs.
