Machining with Minimum Quantity Lubricants (MQL) is a common way for modern manufacturers to “go green”.  Also known as near-dry machining, or mist lubes, MQL is the process of applying small quantities of high-quality lubricants to the tool and work-piece.  MQL reduces your environmental impact by reducing disposal of traditional flood coolants.   Additionally it eliminates the costs associated with treatment, filtration, disposal, procurement, and record keeping of flood coolant system.  Falcon’s MQL products are all non-toxic and operator friendly, and many of our MQL products are renewable plant-based making them biodegradable and minimizing their environmental impact.   Falcon’s line of MQL fluids are rapidly growing as we develop new technologies that provide better tool life, surface finish, with easy fluid controls.  See the products below, or contact your sales representative for a recommendation as these MQL products are truly Metaworking Fluids for Modern Manufacturing.

DuraKut 6000B – Low Viscosity MQL – Synthetic Polymer Based MQL Fluid

DuraKut 6000B is a medium to moderate near dry machining fluid, designed to replace flooded coolants. 6000B can be applied using minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) equipment and may be used in a variety of metalworking applications including sawing, broaching, and tapping.

DuraKut 7000B – Medium Viscosity MQL – Synthetic Polymer Based MQL Fluid

DuraKut 7000B is moderate to heavy-duty near dry machining fluid, designed to replace flooded coolants. 7000B is a higher viscosity than the 6000B and can be applied using minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) equipment and may be used in a variety of metalworking applications including sawing, broaching, and tapping.

DuraKut 8000B – High Viscosity MQL – Synthetic Polymer Based MQL Fluid

DuraKut 8000B is a heavy-duty near dry machining fluid, designed to replace flooded coolants. 8000B is a higher viscosity than the 7000B and can be applied using minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) equipment and may be used in a variety of metalworking applications including sawing, broaching, and tapping.
